Curly fries

Ingredients:

Potato

• 2 large potatoes
• Vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Batter

• 0.5 cups premium flour
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
• Special equipment: spiralizer and deep-fry thermometer

Preparation:

1. Spiralize the potatoes and soak them in water for 1 hour, then refrigerate.
2. Batter:
   
   Combine flour, paprika, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, a pinch of salt and black pepper, and 1 cup water in a large pitcher and pour into a large zip-lock plastic bag.
3. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Place them in the bag with the batter and massage them until thoroughly coated. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the potatoes to absorb all the flavors.
4. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat about 7 cm of vegetable oil over medium heat until it registers 180°C on a deep-fry thermometer.
   
   Fry the fries in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.
