The Secret to Perfectly Crispy Oil-Free Fries
Ingredients:
- 5 potatoes
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Preparation:
- Prepare the Egg White Coating: Begin by whisking the egg whites until frothy. Add the salt, pepper, paprika, and any other spices you enjoy, such as rosemary or a special fry seasoning blend available at most supermarkets.
- Coat the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into sticks and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the seasoned egg whites over the potatoes, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Mix well using your hands.
- Prepare the Baking Tray: Remove your baking tray from the oven and line it with parchment or baking paper.
- Arrange the Fries: Lay the coated potato sticks on the prepared tray, ensuring they are spaced out to prevent them from sticking together.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the tray in a preheated oven at 220°C (428°F). After 10 minutes, check the fries and flip them to ensure even cooking on both sides. Continue baking for an additional 10-12 minutes until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Pro Tip: For an extra touch, you can lightly parboil the potatoes before coating them in the egg whites and spices. This step helps to achieve an even fluffier interior while maintaining that perfect crispy exterior.
Now you have a foolproof method to enjoy delicious, golden-brown fries without a drop of oil!
