American baked?
This is not French and it’s not fried, so should we call it American baked?
I am giving everyone my homemade baked french fry recipe.
IT IS MY JAM (not the jelly kind, the cool kind. Haha)!!!
The best part about this is you can’t tell that they are baked because they are still golden brown and crispy.
MIND BLOWN!
Without further ado, here is my baked french fry recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 medium russet potato
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Half tsp minced onion
- Half tsp garlic powder
- Basil
- Salt & Pepper
Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Take out a baking sheet and line it with aluminum foil. Make sure you spray the aluminum foil with non-stick spray (I use coconut).
Step 2: Wash the potato. I like to keep the skin on because I like the taste of it but that is up to you. Cut the potato in half (short ways) then into quarters (long ways), then into slices. Stick all of the cut pieces of potato in a bowl.
Step 3: Put all of the spices into the bowl with the potato slices and pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top. Mix until all of the potato pieces are covered and then dump the fries on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Line up the fries evenly on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other (if they are, they will steam each other and it will take longer to cook).
Step 5: Stick them in the oven for 20 minutes. Once the 20 minutes are up, take them out of the oven and flip them. Put them back into the oven for another 10 minutes.
Step 6: Take them out and let them cool down for about 2 minutes. Then enjoy the crunch of the delicious baked french fries.
