Crispy French Fries with a spicy coating

This is my new favourite way of making extra crispy French fries. The potatoes are coated in a spicy flour mix before being twice-fried to give them an extra crunch on the outside, leaving the inside soft and fluffy.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes ((1 per person))
• 1 medium egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup plain lour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic flakes or garlic salt
• 8 ounce (225g) lard (for frying)
