📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy clean up, then top with a wire rack. Line a second baking sheet with paper towels. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2
Fit the spiralizer with a 1/4-inch (0.64 cm) blade. Fit the trimmed potato into the spiralizer, then spiralize the potato completely. Cut any very long spirals into shorter pieces.
3
Transfer the spiralized potatoes to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak the potatoes in cold water for 15 to ⏱️ 30 minutes (the longer the better).
4
In a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1 1/2 to 2-inches of oil and heat to 375 degrees.
5
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Add 1 cup of water and whisk until a batter forms, adding more water as necessary for a smooth consistency.
6
Working in small batches, dry the fries on a kitchen towel to remove excess water. Dredge the fries in the batter, turning until well-coated, then place on wire rack over the rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining fries.
7
Fry in batches until the potatoes are golden brown, 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes (depending on the size of the batch and how consistent the oil temperature is). Immediately transfer to baking sheet lined with paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
8
Transfer the cooked curly fries to the oven to keep warm. Return the oil to 375 degrees and repeat with the remaining curly fries.
