Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Pat dry completely with clean kitchen towels to ensure crispy fries.
- Cut potatoes into uniform wedges, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Try to keep the wedges similar in size to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. This helps achieve a crispy exterior.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, and salt over the potato wedges. Toss again to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Arrange seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows proper air circulation and crisp texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- While fries are baking, prepare the chipotle ketchup by mixing ketchup with minced chipotle in adobo sauce in a small bowl.
- Remove fries from oven when they are golden brown and crispy. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with chipotle ketchup on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tips
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For the best texture, opt for large russet potatoes, as they have a high starch content that results in crispy fries.
- Cut Evenly: Ensure your potato wedges are cut to approximately 1/2 inch thick to promote even cooking and browning.
- Dry the Potatoes: After washing, make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly. Moisture can lead to soggy fries, so a good pat-down with a kitchen towel is essential.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Arrange your potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can trap steam and prevent them from crisping up.
- Flip for Even Cooking: Remember to flip your fries halfway through the baking time to achieve that perfect golden-brown color on all sides.
- Customize Your Seasoning: Feel free to experiment with additional spices, such as cayenne pepper for heat or Parmesan cheese for a cheesy twist.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the fries hot right out of the oven with your homemade chipotle ketchup.
