DELICIOUS OVEN BAKED ROSEMARY & GARLIC FRIES / CHIPS



Delicious Oven Baked Rosemary & Garlic Fries / Chips image

This is a recipe I kind of just discovered one day and it is now a firm family favourite in our house, I also make roast potatoes the same way - delicious!!! Be careful not to set the over too high and watch the amount of oil you put in, I have been thinking about using a spray oil but haven't yet tried it, perhaps you can and let me know how they turn out!!! Also, you can use dried herbs but I prefer fresh as I grow my own and they taste so much better, you can also use a different strength of olive oil if you wish, but I prefer extra virgin. I wouldn't recommend using anything other than olive oil mind you, it adds to the flavour! I also like to add a little bit of BBQ seasoning to mine but this is optional, if you want it, add it before cooking...

Tips:

  • Select the Right Potatoes: Choosing the right potato variety is essential for achieving crispy oven-baked fries. Russet or Idaho potatoes are ideal as they have a high starch content, which contributes to their crispiness.
  • Cut Evenly: Ensure your potato slices are of uniform size and thickness. This allows them to cook evenly, ensuring that all the fries are perfectly crispy.
  • Soak the Potatoes: Soaking the potato slices in cold water for 15-30 minutes helps remove excess starch, resulting in fries that are less greasy and have a crispier texture.
  • Dry Thoroughly: After soaking, thoroughly dry the potato slices with a clean towel or paper towels. This prevents excess water from diluting the coating and compromising the crispiness.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Experiment with different herbs, spices, and salt to create flavorful fries that suit your taste preferences.
  • Use High Heat: Baking fries at a high temperature (400°F or higher) is key to achieving crispy fries. This creates a quick sear that seals in the flavors and promotes even cooking.
  • Flip the Fries: To ensure even browning and crispiness, flip the fries halfway through the baking time. This helps them cook evenly on both sides.
  • Use a Wire Rack: Placing the fries on a wire rack allows hot air to circulate all around them, resulting in crispier fries compared to baking them directly on a baking sheet.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked fries can be a healthier and more delicious alternative to traditional deep-fried fries. By following these tips and experimenting with different seasonings and cooking techniques, you can create perfectly crispy, flavorful fries that satisfy your cravings without the guilt. Enjoy your homemade oven-baked fries as a side dish, snack, or as part of a complete meal. They pair well with various dipping sauces, making them a versatile and crowd-pleasing dish. So, grab your potatoes, seasonings, and let's get baking!
