French fries without guilt. Bring out the peeler and turn on that oven! Recipe and pic from Culinate as adapted from Cooks Illustrated and tweaked by me ; ) Ingredients:
3 large russet (baking) potatoes, about 8 ounces each, scrubbed clean (peeling is optional) and sliced lengthwise into about 12 evenly sized steak fries |
4 tbsp. canola or peanut oil |
1 tsp. salt |
1 tsp. pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover with hot tap water; soak 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry with dishcloths or paper towels.
3. Rinse and wipe out the large bowl; return potatoes to bowl and toss with the oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange potato slices in single layers on 2 heavy rimmed baking sheets.
4. Bake for about 12 minutes; check that the bottoms of the potato slices are browning, and flip them with a spatula once the bottoms are nicely browned. Rotate the baking sheets so the potatoes will cook evenly. Bake for another 12 minutes or until the tops are browned and the potatoes are crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside.
5. Transfer oven fries to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Season with freshly chopped parsley and additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve at once.
