Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries

Vegetable Side Dish - Side Dish

My family loves French fries and with 4 children the bag fries from the store just weren't enough and became too expensive. So I tried batter - after all it makes chicken, shrimp, and onion rings crispy so why not potatoes. Now even my husband can't get enough of these French fries. They even stay crispy when you reheat in the microwave.

Slice potatoes into French fries and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating sift the flour garlic salt onion salt (regular) salt and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.

Step 3

Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
