Рецепт Oven Baked Fries
Rarely do I make a dish ten or more times without blogging it.
Rarely do I make a dish ten or more times.
The first time I made these baked oven fries they were proclaimed “OMG POTATOES.” They were MVP of the meal. They were probably MVP of the week. They’re just awesome fries.
We have a deep fryer. The Omnivore cooks stuff in it when I’m not looking. But I promise you this: when offered one of these baked oven fries or one of his deep fried spuds, I’d take the baked one. I’m not saying that because it is healthier – it may not be – I’m saying because it is just plain better.
I made them countless times without blogging them because I figured you’d already seen them. They’ve been on tons of blogs. But just in case…
Baked Oven Fries (adapted from The New Best Recipe via Annie’s Eats)
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes, washed and cut lengthwise into even sized wedges
- 4 tbsp. vegetable, canola or peanut oil, divided
- ¾ tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475˚ F.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Cover with hot water; soak for 10-30 minutes.
Put 3 tablespoons of the oil onto a heavy, rimmed baking sheet. Evenly coat the pan with oil (use a pastry brush if necessary). Sprinkle the pan evenly with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
Drain the potatoes. Spread the wedges out on layers of clean kitchen towels and pat dry.
Wipe out the now empty bowl so it is dry and return the potatoes to the bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 5 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake until the bottoms of the potatoes are golden brown, 15-20 minutes, rotating the baking sheet after 10 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from oven and flip each potato wedge keeping them in a single layer. Continue baking until the fries are golden and crisp, 5 -15 minutes. Rotate the pan as needed to ensure even browning.
