Heart Happy Fries

I am well aware that fries are not a heart healthy food but the reaction from my family to these fries definitely makes my heart happy and some days that is more important to me. Today the leftovers were eaten with breakfast. These kids make me laugh! I know that health is all about moderation...so maybe tonight we'll have salads to make up for it.


Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds potatoes 
1 cup GF flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup water, start there but add as needed
2 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions
Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.
Heat oil in fryer over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
Drain potatoes and then stir them into batter. This gets messy and takes time but it will be worth it! Lower basket (empty!) Into the fryer. Take fries out of the batter one-by-one and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the frier one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve and watch the whole family smile! Everyone loves these and they are definitely worth the effort!
