Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 8 teaspoons ketchup 

Preparation

1. Cut potatoes into 4″ x 1/2″  pieces and soak or double-boil to reduce potassium if you are on a low potassium diet. (See details in helpful hints).
2. Heat oil over medium heat in a skillet.  Add potatoes to hot oil and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
3. Remove fried potatoes to a paper towel to absorb extra oil.
4. Combine cumin, paprika and white pepper in a small dish or shaker. Sprinkle over hot potatoes and toss.
5. Serve 8 fries with 2 teaspoons ketchup. 

Helpful hints

• Potatoes are very high in potassium but you can remove part of the potassium by using one of these methods:
• Double cook method: Peel and dice or cut potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and add fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then drain and set aside.
• Leaching method:  Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of warm tap water and soak for 2 to 4 hours. Drain and set aside.
• Dry potatoes well before adding to hot oil.
• If no salt added ketchup is substituted for regular ketchup sodium will be reduced to 7 milligrams per serving.  (Avoid brands containing potassium chloride).
