Would you believe these Pub Fries were baked?
Here is the secret.
Prepare the potatoes ahead of time, using approximately 2 russet potatoes per person, scrub each potato, then ~ first cut the potato in half lengthwise, then half again, then cut each potato slice into wedges. Then place the sliced potatoes into ice cold water until ready to bake. That’s the big secret to crispy oven fries, the ice cold water bath.
Next line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking oil spray. Then drain (the cold water) and add the sliced Potatoes to the baking sheet. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and spread with a pastry brush. Sprinkle with Kosher Salt to taste.
Then Bake at 400 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes. (oven time and temp may vary). If you like your fries a little crispier, leave them in a little longer.
Serve it up with America’s favorite sauce. Ketchup! Or as my niece calls it ‘Chup.
Sounds really yummy! Quick and easy and delish!
and lots of left overs! Yummo!
Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try them!
enjoy this ‘weekend at home’ favorite meal! Yummo!
Mmmm! I can taste this now on those crispy rolls! French fries are the perfect side.
Enjoy Judy….I really enjoyed both, the Roast was from our local Hazel Park and delicious!
Both look great, Amy! 🙂 I will definitely try them. Do you pat the potatoes dry before adding the olive oil? Or is that necessary? Thanks for the nice recipes. <3
I too would like to know if the fries need to be wet or dry please
Enjoy Jeannine! I just simply drained the potato fries and tossed onto the prepared pan…I didn’t pat them, crispy and good!
Thanks Sheila, enjoy! I just simply drained the potato fries and tossed onto the prepared pan…I didn’t pat them, crispy and good!
