OVEN FRIES

These fries are baked and not deep fried, which lowers the fat content.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 potatoes, preferably Yukon Gold or russet
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 sprigs fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons dried
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut potatoes lengthwise into thick slices, then into 1/2-inch-by-1/2-inch-thick strips. Place in a bowl of cold water until ready to use. Drain and dry well on paper towels.
  • Toss potatoes with oil and spread out on a dark roasting pan or baking sheet. Scatter thyme over potatoes. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until potatoes are brown and crisp on all sides.
  • Remove from oven, discard thyme stems (the leaves will have fallen off), sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For crispy fries, use russet potatoes as they contain more starch, resulting in a golden brown exterior.
  • Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, leading to crispier fries.
  • Dry the potato strips thoroughly before tossing them in oil; moisture can prevent them from becoming crispy.
  • Use a large baking sheet to ensure even cooking and to prevent overcrowding, which can result in soggy fries.
  • Toss the fries in oil and seasonings before baking to evenly coat them for maximum flavor.
  • Bake the fries in a preheated oven at a high temperature (425°F) to achieve a crispy texture.
  • Flip the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking and browning.
  • Adjust the baking time based on the thickness of your fries; thicker fries may require a few extra minutes.
  • Season the fries with salt and pepper immediately after baking for optimal flavor.
  • Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful snack or side dish.
