This is Day 6 of my Daniel Fast.
I'm on a french fries kick, so I've been trying out different french fry flavors!!! My husband and I both LOVE eating french fries !!! This is the basic version.
The starch on the outside of the potatoes keeps the fries from getting nice and crisp. The outside can burn before the inside is soft - also giving the fries a "thicker crust". Eliminating the excess starch also keeps the potatoes from sticking together. The corn starch helps draw the moisture from the potatoes to help get a crispy outside.

Ingredients:
4 white potatoes, cut into french fries
3/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp garlic salt or salt
1/2 tsp corn starch
Directions:
Place potatoes in cold water after cutting to reduce the starch. Let them sit in the cold water for about 10-15 minutes. Then drain off water. Rinse the potatoes a few more times to get the visible starch off the potatoes.
Put the potatoes and other ingredients in a plastic bag and shake well so the potatoes are evenly coated.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with oil and arrange potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Part of the Daniel Fast is praising God.....SO......
Praise God for he is:
faithful, forgiving, first, fair, Father, friendly, first-born, first- fruits, friend
Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly.

hehe we put our potatoes into a bag to use to shake herbs on too! Been doing it for years! Such a great way to reuse vegetable bags and also to make sure everything gets an even coating! :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Sandy !!! I AGREE !! Seems like using bags are MUCH easier to coat the potatoes !!!! - Denise
DeleteI am curious: why get rid of the potato starch if you add corn starch?
ReplyDeleteHI...The starch on the outside of the potatoes keeps the fries from getting nice and crisp. The outside can burn before the inside is soft - also giving the fries a "thicker crust". Eliminating the excess starch also keeps the potatoes from sticking together. The corn starch helps draw the moisture from the potatoes to help get a crispy outside. I hope this helps! - Denise BTW.... THANKS for taking the time to comment... I REALLY appreciate it !!!
