Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
4 cups vegetable oil
2 medium russet (baking) potatoes (about 12 ounces total)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together salt, cayenne, paprika, and coriander. In a 4-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 325°F.
  • While oil is heating, cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Fry potatoes in oil 1 1/2 minutes (potatoes will not be golden) and with a slotted spoon transfer to brown paper or paper towels to drain.
  • Heat oil to 350°F. Return potatoes to oil and fry until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer fries with a slotted spoon to clean brown paper or paper towels to drain and toss fries in spice mixture.
