Fast Food Recipes French Fries

1. CRISPY FRENCH FRIES W/HOMEMADE DIPPING SAUCES

2. Curly Fries

Ingredients

• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 6-10 cups vegetable or canola oil

Batter:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 5 TBS paprika
• 2 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups water

Instructions

1. Cut the end off the potatoes so they are flat, one at a time, spiralize each potato. 
2. Fill a large bowl with hot water (from the tap is fine, just make it hot), place the spiralized potatoes into the bowl, and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Strain
3. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or large pot (high sides are key here). Oil temp should be about 375 degrees, and if you put it at medium heat for about 5 minutes you should reach this temp.
4. In a bowl, make your batter: mix all dry ingredients with a whisk. Add water, then whisk until combined.
5. Dip the potato slices into the batter, and then set onto a rack over parchment paper (for easy clean up), to let the extra batter fall off. Once they are all coated, place them into the preheated oil, careful not to crowd the pot/deep fryer- do it in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes, then remove and place onto a paper towel lined baking sheet. Finish frying all the potatoes.
6. Serve fries with ketchup or your favorite sauce.

3. Loaded Philly Cheesesteak Skillet Fries

Ingredients

• 1 (32 ounce) bag Alexia Smart Classics Roasted Crinkle Cut Fries with Sea Salt
• 2 tbsps olive oil, split
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, diced
• 8 ounces steak, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces white American cheese, shredded
• salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.  Arrange frozen potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Bake for 22 minutes, stirring halfway through cook time.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers to the hot oil and season with salt and pepper.  Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Remove the veggies to a bowl and add another tbsp of oil to the skillet.  Add the steak to the skillet and season with salt and pepper.  Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the steak is no longer pink.  It will cook quickly is you have it sliced extra thin, as suggested.  Transfer the steak to a bowl.
3. Remove the fries from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees.  Place half of the fries into the cast iron skillet used to cook the meat and vegetables.  Top the fries with half of the steak, vegetables, and shredded cheese.  Repeat with the remaining fries, steak, veggies, and cheese.
