Crispy French Fries with Four-Seasoning Blend

1Peel the potatoes and cut them into standard-sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.

2Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

4Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (165°C).

5Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.

6Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).

7Fry the potatoes again in batches for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

8In a large bowl, combine tajin seasoning (1 tablespoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), onion powder (1 teaspoon), smoked paprika (1 teaspoon), salt, and pepper.

9Toss the hot fries in the seasoning blend until they are evenly coated.

10Serve the fries immediately while they are hot and crispy.
