Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds fingerling potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the halved potatoes, olive oil, butter, garlic salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Tear 4 large sheets of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil, each about 16 inches long. Divide the potato mixture evenly between the sheets of foil. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place the packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Cook for 25 minutes.
  • Remove one packet from the oven. Open packet carefully by cutting along top fold with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape; then open top of foil packet. Check to see if the potatoes are fully cooked and fork tender; if not, return to the oven for 5 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are a good all-around choice for fries, as they have a high starch content that makes them crispy. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, which have a creamier texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized strips: This will help them cook evenly. If the strips are too thick, they will not cook through; if they are too thin, they will overcook.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying: This will help remove excess starch, which can make the fries greasy.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying: This will help them crisp up.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying: The ideal temperature for frying fries is between 325°F and 350°F. If the oil is too hot, the fries will brown too quickly and not cook through; if it is too cool, they will absorb too much oil.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the fries will not cook evenly. Fry them in small batches so that they have room to move around and crisp up.
  • Season the fries immediately after frying: This will help the seasoning stick to the fries. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other desired seasoning.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potato fries are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cheesy potato fries are crispy, flavorful, and addictive.
