Ingredients

2 ½ pounds russet potatoes peeled
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup water or as needed

Equipment

Seasoning shaker (optional)
Baking sheet (if oven baking)
Slotted spoon or tongs
Deep fryer, heavy-bottomed pot, oven, or air fryer
Paper towels or clean cloth (for drying)
Knife or mandoline slicer
Large bowl (for soaking)

Method

Slice potatoes into French fries and place them into a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from turning brown.
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
While the oil is heating, sift flour, garlic salt, onion salt, paprika, and salt into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water to make a slightly thick batter that can be drizzled from a spoon.
Drain fries and pat dry; dip into the batter one at a time.
Serve hot and enjoy!
