Description
I was trying to create the perfect baked French fries. But I wanted them to taste as yum-worthy as the fried version. This recipe is the result!
Ingredients
- 4 small-medium russet potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed (about 5 1/2 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unrefined peanut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons malt vinegar or unfiltered cider vinegar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon + 1/8 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Smidgen of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F. Cut each potato into 3 slices lengthwise, creating wide oval pieces. Then cut each of the pieces into 6 lengthwise slices, making 18 strips per each whole potato. Add the potato strips to a large bowl or container with a lid. Add the oils and vinegar, cover, and toss well to fully coat.
- Stir together the garlic powder, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, the cayenne, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle onto the potatoes, cover, and toss to coat.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer on an unbleached parchment paper-lined large baking sheet. Bake until browned, about 30 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the cooking process.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste. Serve immediately.
