a really easy recipe. you boil the potatos (almost until making them mashed potatos), then you cup them up to french fries. but them on a cookie sheet with some oil and salt and pepper. bake them in a hot over for about 45. and in the middle turn them over.


its good and much healthier.What are the best recipes for french fries without a deep fryer?
You could cut the potatoes and put them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven. It works pretty good.
Put enough vegetable oil in skillet to cover fries..be sure to have at least 1/4 inch of space at top so oil wont spill over.Heat oil so when u place fries in it it starts sizzling..not popping oil all over you.fry for 2 minutes and remove fries to paper towels to sit for 2 minutes.then return to oil to cook for another two minutes..this makes perfect fries..as u are removing fries from skillet place on paper towel and put salt , garlic salt, season salt, which ever is you favorite.
Fry the fries in oil in a regular skillet.Once the fries are crispy take them out cover fries with chilli,cheese,and onions.You will have the best tasting chilli cheese fries ever.
I make potato wedges in the oven all the time. This is what I do...





Wash anc cut the potatoes into wedges. Coat them in Olive Oil (I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and lay them in a single layer on a foil lined baking sheet. Sprinkle your favorite seasoning on the wedges and bake for about 15 minutes at 350. Turn them aver and sprinkle seasoning on the other side and bake 15-20 more minutes. Enjoy!!





You can also buy frozen fries and bake them.

Recipe courtesy Michael Chiarello





5 Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced into long wedges


Olive oil


BBQ spice mixture


Salt





Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.


Place the potato wedges in a saucepan with 2 quarts of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for approximately 5 minutes, or until a knife pierces through easily. Drain. In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil. Place the BBQ spice and salt in a shallow dish and roll the wedges in it. Place the wedges on a sheet pan in single layer and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy.
Just add some season salt to any old french fry and it will make all the world of a diffrence
The only way to cook french fries is to cook them twice. heat the saucepan with the cooking oil until it just starts to smoke and put the fries in.If the oil is too cool the potatoes will stick to the bottom of the pan, let them cook away and just before they start to brown remove them and let the oil drain off them. When its time to cook them for real heat the oil until very hot and put the fries in. They will brown in next to no time so be prepared to serve them very quickly.

Three-Flavor Fries


6 large baking potatoes, scrubbed (about 3 pound)


Nonstick cooking spray





Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.





Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Place each half, cut side down, on cutting board and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick shoestrings. Place slices in a mixing bowl and toss with desired seasoning mixture (see accompanying recipes) or salt and pepper to taste.





Line 2 baking sheets with foil, and coat the foil lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Divide potatoes between the 2 pans and spread evenly. Bake about 10 minutes, remove from oven and turn over the potato slices. Return pans to the oven and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are lightly browned and fork-tender.





Onion-Paprika Fries


In a small bowl combine 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. For a spicier mixture, add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.





Garlic-Pepper Fries


In a small bowl, combine 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. For more zip, double up on the garlic and pepper.

Home Fries





Serves 4.





6 potatoes


4 cloves garlic


1 onion


Bacon grease


Oregano


Basil


Paprika


Chives


Red pepper flakes


Black pepper


Salt





Cook the potatoes for 45 minutes at 400 degrees F.





Cut the potatoes into mouth-size chunks, leaving the skins on. Put these into a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, that has the leftover bacon grease poured into it. Chop the garlic and onion; rough cut will suffice. Add these to the pan. Put over a high flame, add the spices (a sprinkling of each), and cook for approximately 10 minutes, shaking the pan to ensure that the potatoes brown up and warm through.





Oven Chili Fries





4 large russet potatoes


4 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil


1 tablespoon cumin


1/2 tablespoon chili powder


Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into about six long wedges. Alternatively, cut each potato into thin rounds. A mandoline (a hand-operated device that evenly slices vegetables) also can be used to cut uniform wedges or rounds.





Transfer the cut potatoes to a large zip-lock plastic bag. Add the oil, cumin and chili powder. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.





Bake for 50 minutes, or until the fries are crisp. For more even crisping, use a spatula to flip the fries after 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot (and with gobs of ketchup).
