Crispy Japanese Long Fries are tall, crunchy fries made from a smooth, starchy batter that’s piped and deep-fried to golden perfection. Crisp on the outside and soft inside, they’re a fun, addictive snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups mashed potatoes (smooth and lump-free)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or seasoning of choice
  • 2–4 tablespoons water (as needed to adjust batter)
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Gradually add water until the mixture becomes a thick, pipeable batter.
  3. Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a wide round tip.
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Pipe long strips of batter directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut if needed.
  6. Fry in batches until golden and crispy, turning once for even cooking.
  7. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Add garlic powder, paprika, or wasabi powder for extra flavor.
  • Mix grated Parmesan into the batter for a cheesy twist.
  • Use sweet potatoes for variation in color and taste.
  • Top with shredded nori or sesame seeds for a Japanese flair.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
