French Fries


Fries –

3 lbs. of Baking Potatoes
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tsp of Sea/Kosher Salt


Peel potatoes and slice into ¼ inch strips. After cutting submerge in ice bath while oven pre-heats to 400 F. Put all ingredients into zip-loc bag and toss to coat. Arrange on baking sheet coated with additional olive oil or spray. Bake until tender and golden approximately 50 minutes. Turn after 20 minutes to prevent sticking and for even color.

(Don’t have to use these exact amounts, you may wing it by using enough oil to coat the amount of potatoes you use, same with salt. Trader Joes Red Hawaiian Sea Salt is great on these)


Options –

After cooking you can toss with chopped parsley, garlic, garlic salt, butter, paprika or any other spices or combination of herbs and spices that sound good. I like mine straight out of the oven with some Heinz!

Yields 6 servings
5 g. fat per serving compared to 22 g. fat for fast food large fry.

Sounds amazing. Funny I have been pondering on the whole hamburger and fries idea, trying to incorporate it into something I can eat and do at home! Thanks
