Oven-Baked French Fries or Chips

It's easy to make oven baked French fries at home without any deep-frying or unwanted fat! These are so much better than the frozen variety.

Oven-Baked French Fries Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

Quantities are based on using 5 - 6 large potatoes, adjust accordingly.

1 - 1½ large new potatoes per person

3 tbsp (90 ml) olive, or safflower oil

1/4 tsp (2 ml) chili powder (optional)

1/2 tsp (3 ml) garlic powder (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

METHOD:

The potatoes can be peeled, or scrubbed clean, leaving the skins on for extra flavour.

Cut into chunky pieces and lightly salt.

Steam the potatoes in a steaming basket, or in the steamer pot of a double boiler for about 12 minutes. (Do not overcook as they will crumble!)

Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and mix carefully with the oil, and spices.

Line a large cookie or baking sheet with parchment paper (essential!) and spread the potato chunks evenly on it.

Bake at 400°F or 200°C for 45 - 55 minutes, turning occasionally until crisp and cooked inside.
