Crispy Oven French Fries


French/Freedom fries are one of the snack that everyone loves to eat. This is not healthy snack but i think its OK have once in a while and baking fries is better than frying.. French fries are potatoes cut into thin strips and baked with oil and seasoned in the oven until crisp.



Source:- Cooks Country

Ingredients:-

Russet potatoes (6 to 8 oz. each)- 4( peeled and cut into 1/2" slices)
Vegetable oil:- 6 Tbsp
Cornstarch:- 1 Tbsp
Salt:- 1 Tsp

Procedure:-

1) Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees.

2) Place potatoes in a bowl, wrap tightly with plastic, and microwave until translucent around edges, 3 to 5 mins, shaking bowl half-way through to redistribute potatoes.

3) Transfer potatoes to cooling rack and thoroughly blot dry with paper towels. Coat rimmed baking sheet with 5 tablespoons of oil.

4)Transfer to oven and heat until just smoking, 5 to 7 mins. Meanwhile, whisk remaining oil,cornstarch and salt in large bowl. Add potatoes and toss to coat.

5)Arrange in single layer on hot baking sheet and bake till deep, golden brown and crisp, 25 to 35 mins, flipping potatoes half-way through cooking time.

6)Transfer to paper towel-lined plate and blot with additional paper towels.

Enjoy:)
