ABOUT THE RECIPE:
If you’re a fan of french fries but could do without the fat and calories of deep-fried versions, you’ll love this recipe. Although these are oven-roasted potatoes with a bit of olive oil, they have a crispy exterior that’s extra crunchy because the potatoes aren’t peeled. Don’t forget the catsup!
Makes 2 to 4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the potatoes into matchsticks; the thinner they are, the crispier the fries will be. Put the potatoes, oil, optional chili powder, and salt in a large bowl and toss gently until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until soft inside, slightly crisp outside, and browning along the edges. Serve immediately.
