Equipment

  • potato ricer (optional)
  • medium heavy-bottomed saucepan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 330 g. Russet potato medium-large sized
  • 2 tbsp. glutinous rice flour
  • 1 tbsp. potato or corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 3 C. peanut oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Wash the potato and use a knife to score the skin of the potato around the mid-section.
  • Place the potato into a saucepan filled with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer for ~45 minutes.
  • When a toothpick easily pierces the center of the potato, drain and place in a bowl of very cold water. Slide the skin off.
  • Cut the potato into a few pieces and press through a potato ricer (or use a potato masher) into a medium bowl.
  • Add the rice flour, starch, salt and pepper. Mix well and use clean hands to form the potato into a dough.
  • Shape the dough into a 1" wide snake and cut into 1 1/2" sections.
  • Press the tines of a fork into each section of potato to create a ridged pattern.
  • Heat the peanut oil to 325˚F/163˚C.
  • Gently drop a few potato pieces into the hot oil and fry 3-5 minutes. They shouldn't be golden at this point, just firmed up. Drain on a rack lined with paper towels.
  • Increase the oil temperature to 350˚F/177˚C and fry again for 30-60 seconds or until golden. Drain on a rack lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and paprika. Serve hot with ketchup.
