On a Whim Baked Spicy Dill French Fries.

Last night (Nick) made burgers and asked me to make a side. At the boys house there are some slim pickins'. I rummaged through the fridge and found a bag of potatoes.. so baked french fries?
This side has minimal ingredients and you can use any type of spice you desire. I chose dill+crushed red pepper. Feel free to experiment!


Baked Spicy Dill French Fries.

Ingredients:

• 4-5 small Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dill
• pinch crushed red pepper
• salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425 + place baking rack closest to the top. Spray baking pan with nonstick spray

Wash and slice potatoes into thin strips

Place potatoes into a large bowl and run under cold water. Swish around until the water is cloudy. Drain and repeat a few times until the water runs clear. Doing this washes away a lot of the surface starch and will make your fries crispier.
Place potatoes in a colander and dab of excess water.

In a large bowl toss the potatoes in olive oil until well coated then add spices. Toss a few times so the spices are spread evenly on the potatoes.

Place potatoes in the baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for 20 minutes more.

Enjoy!
