Someone came home with McDonald's and the smell of greasy french fried potato goodness was mouthwatering. I had to have french fries.
I personally love the thick-cut steak fries with the skins still on. Oh, yum.
Of course, they're easy to make. Just clean a potato, then cut it into strips. (If I'm in a hurry I like to stick them in the microwave for a minute so they'll cook quicker.)
Then, line a cookie sheet with tin foil for easy cleanup. Spray cooking spray liberally on the pan, place the fries on the sheet, and spray a little more. They will stick badly without some kind of lubrication.
Put them into a hot oven, about 400-450 degrees, for about 10-15 minutes or until they're... well, french fries. Sprinkle them with salt, let them cool, and don't feel bad for a minute that you don't get to eat McDonald's fries.
I love oven baked fries!! My mom makes them by tossing them in oil and spices, then baking them for a long time (flipping halfway through), and you get these delicious crispy sides, with the softer centres - Yum! I love how simple fries are to make!
ReplyDeleteI love oven baked fries, too. My favorites are Parmesan crusted sweet potato fries. The salty parm and the naturally sweet potato taste fabulous together.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love oven baked fries myself!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of McDonald's fries, though, I was told by someone else on this GF diet that McDonalds fries their fries in separate grease from their glutenous products. Therefore, McDonald's fries are GF. I haven't verified this information, but I've felt safer eating them ever since.
Hm, that's worth looking into. The last time I checked, the fries themselves actually contained hydrolyzed wheat protein or something like that, but it may be different where you are.
