Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Nacho Cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Wash potatoes. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-1/2 inch cubes. Dry the potatoes as much as possible with a paper towel.
- Heat approximately 2 inches of oil in a large pot or deep fryer until the oil is approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt to a large ziplock bag. Seal and shake to combine the ingredients.
- Add in the potatoes. Seal and gently toss to coat the potatoes with the flour mixture.
- Remove the diced potatoes, shake off any excess flour and add to the oil.
- Fry for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
- Place the potatoes evenly into 4 separate bowls.
- Heat the cheese sauce and drizzle it on the top of the potatoes.
- Then top with sour cream and they are ready to serve and enjoy!
