Print Recipe

Course Side Dish

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 tbsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt ( I use 1 tsp )
1 cup very hot water
30 drops potato flavouring ( optional )
oil for frying

Instructions

Whisk the ingredients together.
Knead into a ball, transfer to a sheet of parchment paper, and loosely form a rectangle.
Sandwich with another piece of parchment paper, and roll out with a pin to about 1/4" thick.
Cut to desired width, fry in oil at medium heat until golden brown (or a bit darker), dry on a paper towel, and season with whatever tickles your fancy!

Notes

Make sure to sprinkle the xanthan gum across all the flour, and whisk together. It will immediately gel up with the water, so the more evenly spread out it begins, the better.

Awesome fries:
Peel, boil some potatoes
Make thicc mashed potatoes with some butter, and your favourite herbs, parmesan cheese, etc.
sour cream, garlic powder, pepper, parsely, seasoning salt/cayenne pepper, shredded cheese/mozarella, and just enough milk to hold it all together. Too much milk will turn this into a brick when frozen, and impossible to work with.

Fill a freezer-safe bag withe the mix, and fill it to the same thickness you want your fries. Squeeze all the air out, make sure the contents of the bag are a consistent thickness, freeze for 2 hours.
Future test – sandwich this between 2 pieces of parchment paper, and use the flat side of a knife to make clear separations so this is easier to work with when frozen.

Remove from the bag, cut into strips, fry in 350F oil until golden brown.
Pro tip – let freeze on a metal surface so it freezes faster.
