Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into finger-sized sticks
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for deep frying
• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
• Ketchup or dipping sauce of choice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potato Sticks:
   • Peel the potatoes and cut them into finger-sized sticks, ensuring they are of uniform thickness for even frying.
2. Prepare the Coating Mixture:
   • In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
3. Coat the Potato Sticks:
   • Pat the potato sticks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
   • Toss the potato sticks in the prepared coating mixture until they are evenly coated.
4. Fry the Potato Sticks:
   • Heat oil for deep frying in a deep pan or fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
   • Carefully drop a few coated potato sticks into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Fry the sticks in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
   • Repeat the frying process with the remaining coated potato sticks.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   • Once all the potato sticks are fried and drained, transfer them to a serving plate.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley or chives (if using) for a pop of color and freshness.
   • Serve the Crispy Potato Finger Sticks hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
