Oven Baked Crispy Fries and Guac!
Recipe: Fries
4 large baking potatoes
11/2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper
a sprinkle of paprika
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400. Wash potatoes leaving skin on (you can peel them if you prefer).
Fill a bowl with cold water. Slice potatoes into 3-4 slices length wise and then into strips.
Let potatoes soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes (this removes starch from the potato resulting in crispier french fries). Remove from water and pat dry.
Toss with oil and seasoning.
Bake for 30 minutes. Turn fries and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes .
Guacamole:
3 avocados
1 firm tomato, finely diced
1/2 white onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
Optional salt and pepper to taste.
Preparation
Open the avocados and scoop out the flesh. An easy way is to cut it length-wise around the pit and than using a chefs knife strike the pit and then twist the knife so you can easily remove the pit and scoop out the flesh.
Mash the flesh with a fork, it can still have hard parts, follow your preference.
Stir the other ingredients . Enjoy
