Homemade French Fries

Baked French Fries

Slice, dice, cut your potatoes any way you like.  We have a fancy cutter that does them perfectly sliced.  In these photos we used a good old fashioned knife because we're on vacation.  Put cut potatoes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, just enough to lightly coat them and give your salt mixture something to stick to.  The olive oil also helps crisp the french fries.

Ingredients

• Salt
• Paprika
• Turmeric

These 3 spices create a great color, a much better flavor than just salt, and will keep you coming back for more.

And just for the record here is some EXTREMELY INTERESTING information about the lovely potato courtesy of Outside Magazine June 2017 article: A medium potato contains 161 calories, 4.3 grams of protein, close to 36.6 grams of carbs, and nearly every vitamin and mineral your body needs, according to the USDA. They have more than double the potassium of a medium banana and a quarter the vitamin C of an orange. “Importantly, they have complete protein, a distribution of essential amino acids that’s similar to animal proteins,” says Guyenet. Eating potatoes alone will, in fact, deliver your recommended dietary allowance of the macro.
