Ingredients

2 1/2 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
1/2 cup water, or as needed

Directions

1 Slice potatoes into French fries; place into a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from turning brown.
2 Heat oil in a heavy saucepan or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3 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.
4 Drain fries and pat dry; dip into batter one at a time.
5 Lower fries carefully into the hot oil in batches to prevent them from clumping together; fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes.
6 Drain fries on a paper towel-lined plate.
7 Serve hot and enjoy!
