It’s easy to make your own Wingstop-style Seasoned fries at home, and they will taste as good (if you don’t think so, even better!) You can get the same or better fries at home than you would in a restaurant. Here’s how you can make those crispy, perfectly seasoned fries that have the signature Wingstop taste.

What you’ll need:

Fries

• 4 large russet potatoes (or about 2 pounds)
• Vegetable Oil (for Frying)
• Salt (to Taste)

To make the seasoning mix:

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon of onion powder
• Smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper, optional (for heat).
• Parsley dried 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt to taste (or 1/2 teaspoon)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preparation of the potatoes:

Wash and peel the potatoes. You can peel the potatoes if you prefer a rustic look, or you can leave them with the skin for a rustic feel.

• Cut the Potatoes: Slice each potato into even strips (approximately 1/4 inch thick). If you want a thicker fry, you can cut the potatoes into wedges. Keep the sizes consistent so that they cook evenly.
• Soak the potatoes: After cutting the fries, soak them in a bowl with cold water for 30 minutes or an hour. The soaking process removes the excess starch, which helps make the fries crisper when they are fried.

2. Heat the oil:

Heat the oil while your fries soak.

• Heat the Oil. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oils to 350 degrees F. You can use a piece of bread to test the temperature if you do not have a thermometer. If the bread browns within 30 seconds, then your oil is ready.

3. Fry the Fries

Drain the potatoes after soaking and dry them with a paper towel. The fries will be crispy and won’t splash in the oil.

• Do not overcrowd your pot. Drop the fries in batches. To avoid soggy fries, fry the fries in small batches.
• Fry the fries for 4-5 minutes: Cook them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden and crisp. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.

4. Season the fries:

Season the fries while they are still hot to give them a Wingstop-style taste.

• To make the seasoning mix, in a small bowl combine the garlic, onion, smoked parsley, cayenne, black pepper and salt. Stir all ingredients together to form a seasoning mixture.
• Sprinkle the Seasoning Mix over the Fries while they are still hot. Pour a uniform coating of seasoning and gently toss the fries into a large bowl. Add more seasoning or salt to your taste.

5. Enjoy and Serve:

Now your Wingstop-Style Seasoned fries are ready! Enjoy this crisp, flavorful side with your favourite dipping sauces like ketchup or ranch.

How to make perfect fries

• Do not skip the step of soaking the potatoes! This is essential to get fries that are crisp on the outside and fluffy inside.
• Fry the fries in batches: By frying the fries in batches, you can ensure that the temperature of the oil doesn’t fall too much. This will prevent soggy fries.
• Double Frying: To get even crispier fries you can fry them twice. Once for 4 minutes. Please remove them and let them cool for 1 minute. Fry them for another 2-3 mins until golden brown and crispy.
• Use the Right Potatoes. Russet potatoes have a high starch level, which results in a crisp exterior and a soft interior.
• Add more cayenne or chilli powder if you want it hotter. Add a pinch of smoked paprika to give it a smoky taste.

Healthier Option:

You can make your fries healthier by baking them rather than frying them. Preheat your oven to 220degC (425degF). Place the seasoned potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 mins, turning them halfway, until crispy and golden.
