Fritzle Fries

William requested that I make these for his birthday, and while the recipe itself seems to contain a mistake, I was able to figure it all out and make something delicious. Enjoy!

Fritzle Fries

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup small tapioca pearls
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• warm water to reach a pipeable consistency (more than 1/4 cup... possibly 1/2-1 cup water)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/2 cup rice flour
• oil for frying
• salt for sprinkling on top of fries when they come out of the oil.

Directions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, soak the tapioca in the yogurt and *1/4 cup warm water for about 15 minutes.
2. Add the parmesan cheese, cayenne, and rice flour, then stir together until just combined. Add enough additional water to make a pipeable dough/batter.
• The original recipe called for just a 1/4 cup water TOTAL, which did not make any kind of pipeable dough at all. So I had to just keep adding water until it was something similar in texture to other things I have tried to pipe (not too thick, but not runny). In the end, I made my best guess and probably added an additional 1/4 cup or (even 1/2 cup or more) extra water. If I make this again, I will do a better job of measuring and tracking how much water I used.
3. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip.
• For my collection of tips, it was my medium size (not my smallest tips, not my huge cupcake tips).
4. Fill a small sauce pan with enough oil to fry in (about 2 inches deep) over medium heat.
5. Once oil is hot, pipe lines of batter into oil and fry until golden on all sides. Drain on paper towel lined plate and serve hot. Sprinkle with salt while hot, if desired.
• The original recipe did not call for sprinkling salt on the end product (like you would for French fries) but after taste-testing, we decided to add the salt because the Friztle Fries were a little bland without it. William doesn't use dipping sauce for his fries and I wanted them to be tasty for him. But with the right dipping sauce, you might not even want to add the salt at the end after frying.
