Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes Known for their starchiness, they yield the perfect crispy texture.
- 1 cup apple cider Adds a sweet and tangy flavor.
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon The star spice that ties everything together.
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar For an extra touch of sweetness.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
- Vegetable oil For frying. Substitute with coconut oil for a healthier option.
Optional ingredients
- Fresh apples Thinly sliced, for garnish or to enjoy alongside your fries.
- Whipped cream or yogurt For dipping.
- Nutmeg A pinch can add warm depth to the flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and peel the russet potatoes.
- Using a spiralizer or curly fry cutter, slice the potatoes into curly shapes.
- Soak the curly potato slices in cold water for about 10 minutes.
Cooking
- In a medium bowl, combine the apple cider, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry. Fry a handful of curly fries in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Place cooked fries on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and toss in the cinnamon mixture.
- Transfer the fries to a serving dish and garnish with fresh apple slices. Serve with whipped cream or yogurt for dipping.
Notes
These fries are perfect for a snack, dessert, or side dish. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
