Instructions
- Peel the Potatoes and cut them into thick, curly fry shapes using a mandoline or knife.
- Rinse the cut Potatoes in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- In a large bowl, combine the Buttermilk Soak ingredients. Add the Potatoes and soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- In a separate large bowl, combine all Batter ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Heat the Peanut Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the Potatoes from the buttermilk and pat dry with paper towels.
- Working in batches, dip the Potatoes into the Batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully lower the battered Potatoes into the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Season immediately with additional Salt, if desired, and serve hot.
