Potato (baked) fries – Baked or fried? – Yes, Baked!


Hey y’all, I got it! I finally got it! The perfect potato fries which are not fried at all! How good does this sound. Yes, it is 2gud2btrue, but hey, I am tellin ya, its true! You wanna believe me, I know I know, fooled too many times, by not so true recipes! :(

But, I have seen these made with my own 2 eyes. And then ate them too, down to the last one, had to split it with the hubby. Grrr!!!

Ok, so here is the scoop, I mean the story behind how I got the recipe. Yasir’s great Mumtaz aunty and Qam uncle were visiting us the last few days. And I got the recipe from her. That’s it. I didnt have to beg, or steal it, she showed me how to do it. Now isnt that just great. I wish all people were like her, and shared they expert recipes and tips with us. Won’t the world be a better place?

Okay, enough of my story telling, back to the recipe:

Ingredients:

potatoes (4-5, washed thoroughly, and do not peel the skin off)
salt, red chilli powder, oil, bread crumbs ( I do not remember if she added a little garlic, have to ask her)

Method:

Cut the potatoes lengthwise to get wedges. Mix in the seasoning.

Preheat oven at 400 deg F, and then arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on a metal tray (coated with a non-stick cooking spray, I use Pam).

Bake around 25-30 mins. (You make bake additional time to make it more crispy).

That’s it. Now get your favorite movie, and have a good time!
