Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium russet potatoes, unpeeled (about 1 3/4 pounds)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 large red jalapeno chile, seeded & membranes removed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 chipotle pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon adobo sauce (from chipotle can)
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Cut potatoes lengthwise into slices that are 1/3-inch thick and then cut each slice into 1/3-inch thick strips. Dry the potatoes between two kitchen towels. (Make sure the fries are bone dry.) In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. (Don't over oil or they will become soggy.).
  • Divide the potatoes between two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spread into a single layer. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown, about 40 minutes, turning the potatoes every 10 minutes, and rotating the racks halfway through baking. Note: Mine took less than 40 minutes and turning, also, prevents sticking.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive in a small nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Take care not to burn the garlic.
  • Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl and toss with garlic, peppers, and cilantro. Taste and season with additional salt, if necessary.
  • To make sauce: In a medium bowl, stir to combine yogurt, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce and lime juice. Serve with fries.

These fries were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time.

I'm not a huge fan of chile peppers, but I still really enjoyed these fries. The cilantro added a nice flavor.

The fries were good, but I found them to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little more oil next time.

These fries were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chile peppers.

These fries were absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the chile peppers and cilantro added a nice kick of flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
