Hey guys, Yesterday I was CRAVING some french fries. I never eat them out because they are basically disgusting. Filled with fats, grease, dipped in the same fryer as fish or chicken. I like to make my own food to ensure that I will not get a stomach flare-up. Cross-contamination happens enough in a household, I could only imagine in a restaurant. At home I can control my settings! Anyways, I baked my fries in the oven mainly because I don't have a fryer but it is so much healthier. I also wanted something spicy so instead of making spicy fries, I opted for a spicy sauce. Hope you enjoy! Homemade Crispy Seasoned Fries with Sriracha Ketchup Prep time: Cook time: Total time: 35 minutes 40 minutes 1hr 15 minutes Ingredients 1 potato Garlic, Parsley, Salt & Pepper to taste Ketchup Sriracha Olive oil 16 oz of Water Instructions 1. Wash and dry one baking potato. I decided to keep the skin on, if you prefer to peel it you can. Cut the two ends off of the potato. Slice into 1/4 inch strips.
2. Once cut, place the strips into a bowl and cover with water for about 30 minutes so the starch releases from the potato. The longer you soak, the crispier they will bake. However, if you plan to soak for longer than 30 minutes place in the refrigerator. 3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F). After you soak the potatoes, dry them off with a paper towel and try to soak up all the moisture. Take 2 baking pans and crinkle a sheet of foil to put on the pans. 4. In another bowl put the potatoes in and drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss around to coat the potatoes. Once coated place the potatoes on the foil covered baking pans. Make sure the strips don't touch each other, you want them to cook evenly. 5. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Feel free to check them and flip over if needed. 6. Turn the oven up to 425 degrees and bake for about another 10 minutes to brown. Please check often! All ovens are different and I don't want them to burn on you! 7. Take out the pan and add more salt, pepper and garlic to taste. You can add fresh or dried parsley. For the Sriracha Ketchup 1. Squeeze some ketchup into a small bowl. Just use however much you plan on using. Shake in some sriracha and taste. Tasting helps you to see if it's spicy enough. If it's not spicy enough add more Sriracha, if it is way too spicy, add more ketchup. 2. You can scoop it onto your plate or put into a squeeze bottle to store and serve neatly. I hope you all enjoy this recipe. I know getting fries at a fast food restaurant or from the freezer section of the grocery store take a MUCH shorter time than these, but they taste so so so much better and they are better for you. Sincerely, Michelle.
