Calories 405kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 8 ounces canned cheese sauce
- 4 ounces sour cream
Instructions
- Wash and peel potatoes. Cut potatoes into ½ inch to ¾ inch cubes. Rinse potatoes off, and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees.
- Prepare seasoned flour for potatoes by combining flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
- Drop potato chunks into the flour, and coat well. Shake off excess seasoned flour before placing into the deep fryer.
- Deep fry for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown. Remove potatoes from the fryer, and drain on wire rack.
- Heat cheese sauce, pour 2 ounces of cheese sauce over seasoned potatoes, and top with 1 ounce dollop of sour cream.
Recipe Tips
Don't crowd the fryer. Potatoes that touch each other while frying will steam instead of crisping. Cut the cubes to a consistent size so they all finish cooking at the same time, and check the oil temperature between batches since it drops each time potatoes go in.
