Crispy Baked French Fries with Curry Sauce

Okay, I have a confession to make. I am a French fry addict. This is hard because it can be so hard to find safe French Fries. How many times have you gone to a restaurant, only to find out their fryer is shared? A shared fryer means gluten foods are fried in the same fryer as gluten free food. That is super bad if you are sensitive to gluten like me.

French fries are not just for a side dish anymore. French fried potatoes make incredible appetizers. Just serve some up for your next party. I bet the whole bowl of French fries gets eaten first!

Why This Recipe Is Great:

1. I share my best secret for crispy baked fries.
2. The curry mayo dipping sauce is amazing with the fries.
3. This is an easy appetizer to make, and it tastes as if you ordered it from a restaurant!
4. Baked fries have a lot less fat than fried!

Grab a fry, or ten and enjoy this crispy gluten free side dish recipe anytime!

Tips For Sucess:

• The secret is to soak your cut potatoes in ice-cold water for 20 minutes. This helps the potatoes retain their color, but it also helps remove some of the potato starch as well so you get crispier baked fries.
• You can peel the potatoes, or leave the peels on.
• Use a special vegetable mandolin to cut the fries really quickly. This is a huge time saver!

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

Step 1: Wash the potatoes with a potato brush. This brush is really helpful to clean the bumpy surface of russet potatoes.

Step 2: Place the potatoes onto a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice them into rectangular fries.

Step 3: Fill a large bowl with ice water and put the potatoes into the bowl. Soak the potatoes for 15 minutes. This will help remove starches so the fries bake crispier.

Step 4: Preheat the oven to 425º F. After soaking the potatoes, pat them dry with a paper town. Put back in the bowl and toss the potatoes with avocado or olive oil.

Step 5: Place a piece of parchment paper down on a cookie sheet. Next, lay out the fries so that they do not touch one another.

Step 6: Bake the fries for 10 minutes. Flip the fries over and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Enjoy these hot with my curry mayo for fries.

To Make the Curry Dipping Sauce:

Add the mayo, curry powder, salt, and lime juice to a small mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to whip the curry fries sauce until it is creamy.

Here is the curry dipping sauce all mixed up. It is not only a great dipping sauce, but you can use it on burgers and sandwiches too!
