A so much more healthier alternative to french fries - and tastes equally as good too if not better! Inspired by Rachael, thelazychef.wordpress.com
What you need:
- 3 or 4 US potatoes
- Salt
- Extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 220 degrees celcius. Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges - quarter them up, then half the quarter.
- Put them into a pot of water to get rid of extra starch. Soak for 1o minutes, rinse and drain well.
- Return the potatoes into a pot on stove with enough water to cover them. Add 1/2 tsp salt and bring to boil. Once it boils, reduce heat & simmer for 3 minutess. Drain the potatoes well & pat dry on kitchen paper towels.
- Place the potatoes strips on a large baking sheet; do not overcrowd. Sprinkle olive oil generously over them. Gently toss the potatoes to mix well with the oil.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet and turn the wedges over & continue to roast for another 15 mins or until it´s well browned & crisp.
- Remove from oven & immediately sprinkle with salt over the hot wedges & serve immediately with ketchup or mayonnaise.
