Ultimate Keto French Fries

Ultimate Keto French Fries
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp xanthan gum
- 2/3 cup hot water
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1–2 tsp mashed potato extract
- Salt, to taste
- Avocado oil or beef tallow, for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, Parmesan and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the hot water and mashed potato extract, stirring and kneading until a dough forms.
- Let the dough rest 15 minutes so the water is fully absorbed. Add a little more water if it's too dry and let it sit again.
- Press the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick, or more depending on your fry shape. Cut into even fry-shaped strips.
- To fry: heat oil or tallow in a deep fryer or pan over medium-low heat so the fries are partly submerged. Fry in batches until golden on all sides, about 3–4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
- Or to bake: preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the strips on a parchment-lined tray, brush or spray with avocado oil, and bake 10–15 minutes, tossing halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle the hot fries with salt immediately. Enjoy!
