Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries

“My family loves French fries and with 4 children the bag fries from the store just weren't enough and became too expensive. So I tried batter - after all it makes chicken, shrimp, and onion rings crispy so why not potatoes. Now even my husband can't get enough of these French fries. They even stay crispy when you reheat in the microwave.”

These were amazing! The only thing I added was cajun seasoning to the batter. My husband and I were skeptical that we could make french fries from home that actually tasted decent...these were restaurant worthy, actually better than most I have had when out to dinner or lunch! Fabulous recipe!

We liked them. They were great but too time consuming. I would also recomend adding some pepper and season salt to the batter.

These were fantastic. My husband and I ate the whole plate (very full). This is a keeper recipe. I used a electric fryer and it didn't get hot enough so I had to cook for a longer time. They were still delicious. I thought putting in one at a time would be a pain, but it went pretty fast. Thanks for the great recipe. Your cookin friend Karen

Very good. Very crunchy. I was wondering if a beer batter would also work - and I saw another reviewer tried the same so I will also next time. I used my deep fryer and fried in bunches. I also did a batch of seasoned and one not. Both were dalish! Thanks for the recipe.

This is so much better than frozen fries. Really enjoyed this recipe and it couldn't be simpler.

tried with sweet potato fries cut to width of fingers, fried plain for a minute then dipped in batter (1 cup flour, garlic salt, paprika & cayenne to taste mixed with enough water to make syrup-consistency batter - 1/2 cup water?)& fried again for about 3 minutes (until golden brown)- much better than plain sweet potato fries - haven't had luck getting crispy sweet potato fries until now - thanks for the awesome (but fattening) recipe! also tried freezing the left over cooked fries - will pull them out & bake them another night, should be great.

Cassie this batter is AWESOME. I didn't think that something so simply could taste so good! I added a little more seasoning and deep fried veggies. This recipe will travel with me from here on out!

These were the best home made fries. I made the mistake of putting in my deep fryer basket at first and they all stuck to the basket so then I moved to the pan and they came out perfect. My husband said they were better than any restaurant fries.

I LOVED these fries. I made them with Slow Cooker Pulled Pork from this site and they were amazing. The hubby loved them too! I didn't find it to be that much work. While the oil was heating up I coated the first fries, then it wasn't much work to drop the fries individually into the oil. While that batch was cooking I coated the next batch, etc, etc. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it was very hard to keep the cooked fries hot. By the time all of the fries were cooked most of them were cold. I did add seasoning salt to the batter and cajun spice rather than paprika. Overall I really loved the flavor and crispness of these fries!

This was a good recipe. I didn't use as much salt as recommended. I didnt measure but used onion and garlic powders, paprika and like a pinch of salt b/c there is enough salt in the ketchup we use to dip the fries in. This is great for those with high blood pressure bc you can get the flavor w/out all the sodium. The fries didnt all stay crisp after they cooled but they still tasted good.

Why can't restaurants make fries this good?? It is a bit time consuming because you must watch them like a hawk. But so worth it. I drained them on cooling racks like someone else suggested. Put a cookie sheet underneath to catch the oil.

Wow these are amazing!! They may not be the healthiest things but so delicious! I would compare them to Burger King fries only way better! All I had on hand was garlic powder (used about 1/4 tsp) and salt but we didn't miss the onion or paprika one bit!
