French Fries
Ingredients
3 pounds white russet potatoes (about 4 large), scrubbed and unpeeled
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To cut the potatoes, use a knife or a french fry cutter (see Notes). If using a knife, cut the potatoes into lengths of about 3 x ½ x ½-inch.
- Spread the fries in one layer (without touching) on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and use a spatula to loosen and shuffle the fries around. Return the baking sheet to the oven, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more, or until tender and lightly browned. Serve immediately, plain or with Better Ketchup.
Ketchup
Ingredients
- ¾ cup water
- half of a medium apple, peeled, cored and chopped (about ½ cup)
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
Instructions:
Place all of the ingredients (water, apple, tomato paste, vinegar, oregano, and granulated garlic) into a blender, and blend until smooth. Refrigerate for two to three hours for the best flavor.
Hash Browns
Ingredients
- 2 small Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 inches long), peeled
- Better Ketchup (optional)
- ½ medium, ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
- Ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Slice each peeled potato by using the coarse blade of a spiral vegetable cutter (see Note) or grate the potatoes using the larger holes on a traditional cheese grater. Pat dry the cut potatoes between two paper towels to remove most of the moisture (this will help prevent sticking and will promote browning).
- Preheat a large nonstick frying pan to medium heat (no oil or water is needed). Place the sliced or grated potatoes into the hot frying pan, spreading the sliced potatoes evenly into a 1-inch layer or the grated potatoes into a ½-inch layer.
- Cook for 5 to 7 minutes with the lid partially off (this promotes thorough cooking and a crisp surface), occasionally lifting a corner of the hash browns with a spatula to make sure they’re not getting too brown (if so, reduce the heat). When the hash browns are a medium brown, flip them and cook for 5 to 7 minutes more, still with the lid partially off. As with the first side, check the underside occasionally so it does not overbrown.
- Serve immediately, seasoned with a little pepper. A side of ketchup and sliced avocado also adds a bit of richness and flavor.
