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.

1 quart oil for frying
3 large potatoes, julienned
3 cups chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them to crisp up in the fryer.
  • Use a high-quality oil: Canola oil or vegetable oil are good choices for frying French fries.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The oil should be between 325°F and 375°F.
  • Fry the potatoes in small batches: This will prevent the oil temperature from dropping too much.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Season the fries immediately after frying: This will help the seasoning to stick to the fries.
  • Serve the fries hot: French fries are best enjoyed immediately after they are fried.
