Seasoned French fries homemade from scratch, no deep frying required.
Ingredients
  • 1 lbs of Idaho Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 tsp of red chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika (mild,should be made of capsicum/bell pepper)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp of garlic salt
  • ½ tsp white pepper powder
  • 1 Bowl of water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • PAM cooking spray (or brush and oil)
Instructions
  1. Peel the potatoes, and slice them length wise into long strips as in French fries
  2. Mix salt and lemon juice in the bowl of water.
  3. Immerse the potatoes in this water for half an hour ( you can keep this up to 24 hours, refrigerated).
  4. Strain and discard the water.
  5. Set the oven to preheat at 350 degree F.
  6. Place the potato wedges on an aluminum sheet because you want the potatoes to be moist to be able to soak in spices.
  7. Sprinkle with all the spices except paprika.
  8. Now sprinkle rice flour. Using your fingers, gently turnover the wedges so that they are well coated with rice flour. It does not have to cover the fries completely.
  9. Transfer the aluminum sheet directly on the middle rack of the oven.
  10. Bake for 15 minutes.
  11. Sprinkle the fries with paprika
  12. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degree F and bake for another 10 minutes till the fries are golden.
  13. If you want even more crispy fries, broil the fries for 2 minutes (keep an eye, you don't want charred fries).
  14. Enjoy with ketchup and hot sauce.
Note: Prep time includes soak time.
