Rahway Fries

P1040846

RECIPE RATING: EASY

Gather the ingredients:

-3 small sweet potatoes, rinsed with the skin on

-4 medium russet potatoes, rinsed with the skin on

-Salt and pepper

-Olive oil

Put it all together…

1. First things first, you’ll need to cut your potatoes. I used a plastic Julienne cutting board with various settings. If you have one, you can use the Julienne to cut the potatoes into thin strips. If you don’t you can cut the potatoes into thin wedges CAREFULLY with a knife.

2. Once the potatoes are cut, soak them in cool water for 30-60 minutes to reduce the amount of starch (this will help to crisp them up in the oven). After soaking, drain and use a paper towel to remove excess water.

3. Pre-heat the oven to 400 °F degrees and place cut potatoes on large cooking sheet lined with foil. Mix 2-3 tbsp of oil and preferred amount of salt/pepper with potatoes and evenly spread them across the cooking sheet. If needed, use two cooking sheets (you don’t want the potatoes to be piled up on the trays).

4. Cook the potatoes on 400 °F for approximately 30 minutes, or until tender. To get the fries crisp, turn your oven on “broil” (high), stirring occasionally until desired golden brown.

5. Enjoy as a side, on a salad (Pittsburgh style) or under some healthy vegetarian chili.
