I love fries. There is something about the greasy starch, flavored by the Maillard reaction, that I find irresistible. As deep frying is such a hassle, and not terribly healthy either, I had to find alternatives to satiate my hunger for the crispy potato wedges.
Here is the ultimate recipe that makes spicy, crispy and all around delicious chips:
Ingredients
3-4 large red skinned potatoes (works with other kinds as well, but these are the best)
1tbsp olive oil
salt, pepper, paprika to taste
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes and cut them into 0.5inch x 0.5inch sticks. Toss them with the olive oil and the spices. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and for best crunchiness arrange the potato wedges on it in a single layer, and minimize their contact surface. Bake for 35-45 minutes...this will depend on the final size of your potato bits and your oven. Serve warm. Delicious stuff!
It's easy and yummy. Try it, and let me know how it worked!

ReplyDeletebut, where did you find your paprika? It's good
Mine came from Macedonia and Hungary. The real, tasty, home-made stuff.
