CELERY ROOT, POTATO, AND LEEK HOME FRIES



Celery Root, Potato, and Leek Home Fries image

Celery root and leeks make home fries into a sophisticated side dish for dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 medium leeks (about 1 1/2 pounds), white and light-green parts only, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium all-purpose potatoes (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into matchsticks (1 inch long by 1/4 inch wide)
1 celery root (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into matchsticks (1 inch long by 1/4 inch wide)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place sliced leeks in a large bowl of cold water. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift out of water with a slotted spoon and drain.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add leeks and other remaining ingredients and cook, turning the vegetables frequently, until browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes: This ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from getting overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings before baking: This helps them crisp up and develop flavor.
  • Use a baking sheet that is large enough to accommodate the vegetables in a single layer: Crowding the vegetables will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the vegetables at a high temperature: This helps them crisp up quickly and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • Keep an eye on the vegetables as they bake: They can burn easily, so it's important to remove them from the oven as soon as they are cooked through.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best eaten hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato and celery root fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional potato fries. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite seasonings. Whether you are looking for a side dish or a snack, these fries are sure to please. They are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
