Enjoy the crispy, golden goodness of Chick-fil-A's famous waffle fries right at home. These fries are perfectly seasoned, offering a delightful crunch on the outside and a fluffy interior. Ideal as a side dish or snack, they are sure to please everyone at the table.

Ingredients:

• 2 large russet potatoes
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick waffle shapes using a waffle fry cutter or a knife.
2. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
3. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
4. In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5. Carefully add the potato pieces in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
6. Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to taste.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade waffle fries!
