Homemade Fries

Fries, the staple of every (plant based) human. 🤣 But seriously, homemade fries are a must to avoid seed oils and get the perfect batch of fries- I prefer slightly mushy. Honestly, it’s easier than you (probably think).

Ingredients:

• 3 – 4 large potatoes (washed)
• Cooking oil of choice, I use avocado
• Seasoning(s) of choice

Instructions:

• Cut your potatoes however thick you prefer- or for as long as you have patience if you’re like me.
• Soak cut potatoes (fries) in clear water for 20-30 minutes.
  • You will need to rinse them at least once as the water will become milky at first.
• Drain your the potatoes/fries and place on a work surface, pat dry, and leave them for 30 minutes. 
• While they are drying, heat your oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Once the oil is hot (you’ll hear popping) place the dried potatoes/fries into the pot and cook for 30-40 minutes.
  • Time depends on thickness of the potato and personal preference.
• Remove your fries from the oil (I use tongs and let the oil cool in the pot) and place in a large bowl.
• Season, flip, season!

These homemade fries will be a staple in you house because they are so easy and delicious!

Pro tips:

• (If you eat dairy) Mix cottage cheese and ranch in a food processor for a high protein dip.
• Save the (cooled) oil in a glass jar for a future batch of homemade fries.
