Curly Cut, Straight Cut, whatever... :)
ingredients
1-3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
4 russet potatoes (8 ounces each; 2 pounds total), peeled
Olive oil spray
1 Egg or 2 tablespoons egg substitute
1-2 tablespoons unbleached or all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Meanwhile, with a twin curl cutter, cut 7 ounces of potato curls (or straight cut), about 2 cups. (Cover with water and refrigerate the scraps for another recipe.) -
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Lightly mist a small nonstick baking sheet with oil spray. Set aside.
- Transfer the potato curls to the boiling water. Cook for exactly 3 minutes but no longer or they will break.
- Drain in a colander. Set aside for about 5 minutes to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, flour, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. With a fork, mix until well blended. Add the potatoes.
- Toss them with your fingers until they are coated with the seasoning mixture. Transfer, allowing any excess seasoning mixture to drip off, to the reserved baking sheet. Arrange the potatoes, not touching, in a single layer. Lightly mist with oil spray. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, turning them about halfway through, until crisp and cooked through.
