Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 8 ounces canned cheese sauce
- 4 ounces sour cream
Instructions
- Wash and peel potatoes. Cut potatoes into ½ inch to ¾ inch cubes. Rinse potatoes off, and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees.
- Prepare seasoned flour for potatoes by combining flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
- Drop potato chunks into the flour, and coat well. Shake off excess seasoned flour before placing into the deep fryer.
- Deep fry for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown. Remove potatoes from the fryer, and drain on a wire rack.
- Heat cheese sauce, pour 2 ounces of cheese sauce over potatoes, and top with 1 ounce of sour cream.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (350 degrees) for frying to achieve crispy potatoes.
- Be cautious when frying to prevent overcrowding in the fryer, which can lead to uneven cooking.
- Adjust the level of Cayenne Pepper based on your heat preference – add more for spicier potatoes or omit it for milder flavor.
- Use a wire rack to drain the fried potatoes, which helps maintain their crispiness.
- Feel free to customize your loaded potatoes by adding additional toppings like guacamole, chopped onions, and shredded cheese for extra flavor.
- These seasoned flour-coated potatoes are perfect as a snack, side dish, or party appetizer.
