  • 2
    Cut the potatoes into french fry shapes and wipe the pieces with paper towels to remove any surface wetness.

    Mix together the potato flour and the spices and coat the potatoes. This is most easily done by shaking in a gallon zippered plastic bag. Put the coated potatoes in a colander and toss to remove excess seasoned flour.
