Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 pounds russet potatoes, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce jar roasted red bell peppers (see Cook's Note)
2 ounces feta, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup toasted walnuts or almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 clove garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the fries: Dissolve the salt in a large bowl of cold water and add 1 cup of ice cubes. Submerge the potato wedges and soak for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Toss them in the butter and season with salt and pepper. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until browned, about 1 hour. Add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • For the feta-red pepper dip: Combine the bell pepper, feta, nuts, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, cumin, crushed red pepper, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few turns of black pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Top the fries with the feta-red pepper dip and serve.

The fries were soggy and the dip was bland.

I found that the fries needed to be cooked for a few minutes longer than the recipe stated.

These fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just like I like them. The feta and red pepper dip was also delicious and added a nice flavor to the fries.
