Cilantro French Fries Food

PERFECT FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Peel and rinse the potatoes. Then cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting each piece into sticks.
• Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2 to 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the fridge and let them soak overnight.)
• When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry them.
• Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should not be brown at this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain on new/dry paper towels.
• Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the oil reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle with sea salt and dive in!

BAKED FRENCH FRIES WITH CHILE PEPPERS & CILANTRO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Cut potatoes lengthwise into slices that are 1/3-inch thick and then cut each slice into 1/3-inch thick strips. Dry the potatoes between two kitchen towels. (Make sure the fries are bone dry.) In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. (Don't over oil or they will become soggy.).
• Divide the potatoes between two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spread into a single layer. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown, about 40 minutes, turning the potatoes every 10 minutes, and rotating the racks halfway through baking. Note: Mine took less than 40 minutes and turning, also, prevents sticking.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive in a small nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Take care not to burn the garlic.
• Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl and toss with garlic, peppers, and cilantro. Taste and season with additional salt, if necessary.
• To make sauce: In a medium bowl, stir to combine yogurt, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce and lime juice. Serve with fries.
