Description
Crispy and golden potato finger sticks, perfect for a quick snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into finger-sized sticks
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Rinse the potato sticks under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- In a bowl, toss the potato sticks with cornstarch, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the potato sticks to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the potato sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can double fry the potato sticks. Fry them once until lightly golden, remove, let them cool, and then fry again until perfectly crisp.
- Experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature to prevent the potato sticks from becoming greasy.
