Seasoned Shoestring Fries


1 Idaho Potato
1 Cup Peanut Oil

Spices:
2 TBSP Ground Cumin
1 TBSP Chili Powder
½ TBSP Onion Powder
1/8 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
½ Tsp Salt
¼ Tsp Ground Black Pepper

Combine all the spices in a bowl and set aside.

Peel the potato and cut into 1/8 inch wedges, then 1/8 inch slices. Place in a large bowl of cold water and 2 TBSP salt. Let soak at least ½ an hour.

Heat oil in a large pan until the chopstick method is sizzling.

In small batches, drain the potatoes on paper towels. Gently place in the hot oil and stir a little so they don’t stick together. Cook until they turn brown, then drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with some of the spices. Repeat cooking steps until all are cooked.
