Ingredients

  • 3 russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 12 tablespoon sugar
  • 12 tablespoon ground mustard
  • 12 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 12 tablespoon onion powder
  • 12 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 12 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 12 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • canola oil, for frying
  • kosher salt, to taste

Method

  • Peel and uniformly slice the potatoes lengthwise so they're about 1/16" thick; place them in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes; spread out on paper towels to dry.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together chile powder, paprika, sugar, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, ground cumin, and ground black pepper; set aside.
  • Pour canola oil into a 6 quart saucepan to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 325 degrees F. Working in batches, fry potatoes until golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined bowl; season with kosher salt to taste and toss with spices.
