I would have made my own last week but I was out of potatoes. :)Sarah - The Home Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932762716036801924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-11217136196991177692007-11-19T13:28:00.000-05:002007-11-19T13:28:00.000-05:00So, here's a tip for fabulous oven fries.

I think I first saw this in Cuisine at Home or Fine Cooking, but it's now a staple at our house.<BR/><BR/>Cut potatoes into your chosen fry shape – I have used both standard fry shape and chunkier wedges, depending on my mood. Bring to a boil in salted water, boil for one minute, then drain well. Toss with a splash of olive oil and seasonings (I like salt, pepper and some ground chipotle chile). Spread them out on a cookie sheet (lots of room helps them brown and crisp, not steam). Put in a 425-450 degree oven (middle shelf) and check them after about 15 minutes. When they are getting crisp on the bottom, loosen and move them around with a spatula. Another 10 minutes or so should do it, but peek frequently.<BR/><BR/>We had these with burgers this week (must be an active cheeseburger meme floating around) and they were divine.<BR/><BR/>Burger looks lovely - thanks for sharing!<BR/><BR/>LaurenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695468896515379305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-12739172639182266962007-11-19T09:48:00.000-05:002007-11-19T09:48:00.000-05:00Katie - Thanks! :)Melissa - The fried egg is a rea...Katie - Thanks! :)<BR/><BR/>Melissa - The fried egg is a real indulgence.
