Carne Asada Fries 🍟🥑🔥 Welcoming the month of love with the food my husband introduced me to on our first date 💕 visit cooking4two.com for more!(link in bio!) INGREDIENTS Fries 2-3 medium fries ⅓ c flour ½ tsp salt 2 Tbsp corn starch ½ tsp paprika ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder ¼ tsp cayenne powder ½-¾ c seltzer water Toppings sour cream or crema guacamole shredded cheese or nacho cheese pico de gallo cooked steak cubes I marinate mine with orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, Chef Merito Carne Asada Seasoning, and cilantro INSTRUCTIONS Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, paprika, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne powder. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined. Gradually whisk in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of seltzer water until the mixture reaches the consistency of pancake batter, smooth and slighly runny. Prepare the Fries: Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into fries. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325-350 degrees F. Fry the cut potatoes in batches until golden brown, the first time. Remove and drain on paper towels with a plate underneath. Second Fry with Batter: Dip each pre-fried french fry into the batter, ensuring an even coating. Carefully place the battered fries back into the hot oil and fry until they achieve a second golden brown color. Remove and drain on paper towels. Transfer the twice-fried fries to a small baking dish. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the fries. Place the baking dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. Final Assembly Once the cheese has melted, remove the fries from the oven. Top the cheesy fries with dollops of sour cream, pico de Gallo, guacamole, and cooked steak chunks. Serve Immediately:)#sharingiscaring #love #valentine #foodie #cooking4two #cookingfortwo #cookingforyou #mealsfortwo #foodforyou
