Fresh Cut French Fries With Creamy Ketchup Recipes

Steps:

• To make the fries: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Peel the potatoes and cut into desired French-fry size. Place in a plastic bag along with the oil and shake until potatoes are evenly coated. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Put the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle with cayenne and black pepper.
• Bake, turning potatoes once, until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make the ketchup: Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. If you like it chunky serve as is. If you don't want the ketchup chunky, put ingredients into a food processor to puree.
• When the fries are done, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with the ketchup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Rinse potatoes under hot tap water and drain well. Dry the potatoes between several sheets of paper towels.
• In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, add the oil and heat to 360 degrees F. Add the potatoes and fry until golden brown and crisp. Drain the fries on a baking sheet lined with a paper grocery bag or paper towels and sprinkle with salt, to taste. Keep the fries warm in oven until ready to serve. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve with Creamy Ketchup Dipping Sauce

Steps:

• Soak potatoes in a large bowl of water for about 30 minutes. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Gently add the potatoes in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, stirring and flipping the potatoes occasionally. Remove potatoes from oil with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towel and to cool completely.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the potatoes again until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Blot with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt to serve.
