Easy Baked French Fries With Ketchup Food

BEST BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray.
• Place sliced potatoes in a colander; sprinkle sugar over potatoes. Set aside until liquid is released from potatoes, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain liquid and dry potatoes well.
• Mix potato slices, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a resealable bag until evenly coated. Spread coated potato slices in a single layer, leaving space around each potato, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip fries and continue baking until crisp and browned, about 20 more minutes.

FRENCH FRIES WITH HOMEMADE KETCHUP

Steps:

• To make the ketchup:.
• In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato sauce, vinegar, shallots, sugar, fennel seeds, kosher salt, cloves, dry mustard, black pepper and cayenne.
• Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat to very low.
• Cover and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally (and, during the last 10 minutes of cooking, often).
• Transfer the ketchup to a small bowl and let cool.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 day or up to 3 weeks.
• French fries:.
• Peel the potatoes and cut each one lengthwise into slices 1/3 inch thick.
• Cut the slices lengthwise into sticks 1/3 inch thick.
• Spread out 3 kitchen towels.
• Scatter the potatoes over the towels and roll them up.
• Let stand for 30 minutes to allow most of the moisture to be absorbed.
• In a deep fryer or large, heavy pot over medium-high heat, pour in oil to a depth of 2 inches and heat to 325°F on a deep-frying thermometer.
• Working in 4 batches, fry the potatoes until just tender but not brown, about 3 minutes.
• Using a large skimmer or the deep fryer's basket, transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels to drain.
• Between batches, let the oil return to 325°F and use a skimmer to remove any potato bits that remain in the oil.
• Let the potatoes cool for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• Reheat the oil in the fryer to 375°F
• Fry the potatoes again in 4 batches until they are a deep golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per batch.
• Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with fresh paper towels and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Serve immediately, with the ketchup alongside.

FAUX "FRIES" WITH RASPBERRY "KETCHUP"

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Trim off a thin layer of the cake's brown exterior crust. Cut pound cake lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Turn slices on their side and cut into 1/4-inch strips. Trim to 4 to 5 inches in length (if this sounds confusing, just remember, you are creating French fry-shaped strips).
• Arrange strips on cookie sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until browned on top and bottom. Turn strips and bake for approximately 4 more minutes, or until remaining 2 sides are browned. Let cool, then arrange in fry container.
• Place raspberries in a blender or food processor, and puree (add a few tablespoons of water, or lemon juice, if necessary, to facilitate blending). Add sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, to taste, until tartness is gone.
• Place raspberry puree in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Use a rubber spatula to force the puree through the strainer. Discard the seeds and transfer the puree to the squeeze bottle. Serve alongside "fries".
