Reviews
These fries are AMAZING ! I made 2 pans as the Neely’s called for ., but I made one pan mojo and one pan with just salt and pepper (traditional fries).
I tweaked the mojo fries to suit our tastes, since I omitted the lime zest, cilantro and mint. I just added the garlic , parsley and the red pepper flakes , salt and pepper for the mojo fries.
These fries tastes exactly like crispy deep fried french fries!
Both pans came out PERFECT ! SO SO yummy, and guilt free !!
I had NO leftovers !!
I have to add, this french fry recipe will replace my favorite baked fries recipe. This recipe is MUCH easier, since with my old recipe I had to soak my potatoes in water and then take all the trouble to dry them.
With the ease of this recipe, I will be making homemade french fries a lot more often now !!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!
This is a tastey version of baked fries, but I always soak my cut fries and soak them in a big bowl of water for about 15-20 minutes, drain the water, pat dry the cut potatoes and then bake as instructed. This step helps make the potatoes crispy and better.
This looks terrific and I can’t wait to try it
