Golden Swirl Curly Fries

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes
• Vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying
• Salt (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Keep the skins on or peel them based on your preference.
2. Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, carefully cut the potatoes into long, thin spirals, creating the swirls resembling curly fries. Be cautious to maintain an even thickness for even cooking.
3. Place the potato swirls in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch and aids in shaping the curls.
4. Drain the curly potato strands and pat them completely dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
5. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to around 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully place the curly potato strands into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per batch, or until they turn a deep golden brown and become crispy.
7. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the Golden Swirl Curly Fries from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
8. Season the fries immediately with salt while they’re still hot, ensuring even coverage.
9. Serve the Golden Swirl Curly Fries hot with your preferred condiments or dipping sauces.

These Golden Swirl Curly Fries offer a visually appealing spiral shape with a crispy exterior and a soft interior. Adjust the frying time based on the thickness of the strands for optimal crispiness. Enjoy your homemade Golden Swirl Curly Fries!
