Baked Potato Fries

Baked Potato Fries deliver crisp golden edges and fluffy centers without the need for deep frying. Potatoes are cut into even batons, seasoned with olive oil, paprika and garlic, then baked at high heat until browned. They are an easy accompaniment to sandwiches, burgers and wraps or can be served as a snack with ketchup or yogurt dip. Soaking the cut potatoes briefly in cold water helps remove excess surface starch, while drying them thoroughly before baking improves crispness.
