Baked spicy potato fries
A guilt free, crispy, crunchy, spicy and super delicious alternative to the much loved deep fried French fries
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes cut in 1 inch thick batons
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp paprika powder
- 2 tbsp mixed dried herbs
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash the potato batons 3-4 times in water, until the water runs clear. Then drain the potatoes and dry them on a kitchen towel
- In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients and half of the salt. Toss the potatoes in this mix until all of them are evenly coated with it
- Lay them over a baking tray in a single layer and bake in a pre-heated oven at 220°C for 12-15 minutes. Remove the tray, give the potatoes a flip and cook the other side for another 12-15 minutes
- When done, remove your baked, spicy potato fries and drizzle over the remaining salt. Serve them hot with ketchup and/or mustard sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- I have left the skin on my potatoes for the fries. When doing so, make sure to wash and scrub the potatoes really well before proceeding to cook with them
- You can add any spices/herbs/flavours of your choice in step 2
- The potatoes will slightly shrink in size once baked, so make sure to keep them thick when cutting
- tsp - teaspoon
- tbsp - tablespoon
