Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large organic russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In the meantime, wash the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into thin even strips.
- Rinse cut frites and leave them in a bowl filled with cold water for 10 minutes.
- Dry the frites with a clean towel.
- Place frites into a dry bowl and toss well with the avocado oil and all the seasonings (garlic powder, salt & pepper).
- Transfer the coated frites onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and spread them out in an even, single layer.
- Roast for 40 minutes until crispy and golden brown. It is a good idea to flip the potatoes after the first 20 min. to make sure they roast evenly on both sides.
- Remove potatoes from the oven, garnish with cilantro and serve with your favorite dip.
Notes
- Remember to soak the frites in cold water for 10 minutes after you cut them into strips (this will help make them nice and crispy!)
- Arrange the frites evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet and make sure they do not overlap.
- Keep the frites' size and cut the same so they roast evenly.
- Flip frites half-way through the roasting time to ensure they brown on both sides. If the frites get stuck to the parchment paper, use a spatula or a cake cutter to gently lift them.
