Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by scrubbing and peeling your large russet potatoes. Using a waffle cutter, slice them into ¼-inch thick waffle shapes.
- Place the sliced fries in a large bowl filled with cold water and add a splash of white vinegar. Allow them to soak for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, modified food starch, optional dextrin, xanthan gum, baking powder, and fine salt. Whisk in enough cold water to reach a smooth batter consistency.
- Once soaking is complete, drain the fries and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Toss the dried fries in your prepared batter until they are evenly coated and allow excess batter to drip off.
- In a deep pot, heat enough canola oil to fully submerge the fries, bringing it to a temperature of 325°F (165°C).
- Carefully add the battered fries to the hot oil, frying them for about 3 to 4 minutes until tender but not browned.
- Let the fries rest for 10 minutes after the first fry to allow moisture to escape.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the rested fries for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until golden-brown.
- Sprinkle the fries with flaky sea salt immediately after frying and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
