Tasty Tuesday's - #12 - Do You Want Fries With That?...

 {Recipe via Gwyneth Paltrow's book -

The answer to that question is of course enthusiastically and emphatically "YES"!  I love french fries - never met one I didn't like.  That's why I was so excited to come across Gwyneth's no fry fries.  They satisfy the craving but eliminate the deep-fry naughtiness.

Ingredients:

2 large russet potatoes (2/3 lb each), peeled 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt

 

Directions:

Heat oven to 450°

Cut potatoes in half horizontally; cut each half into 1/3-inch-thick fries and place in a bowl of cold water

Remove from water and dry thoroughly

Toss with oil and sprinkle with salt

Place fries on a cookie sheet

Roast until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally, 25 minutes.
