French fries recipe in the oven

Fast food food is always so tempting. Juicy burgers, crispy breaded nuggets and, of course, French fries will leave few people indifferent. However, such food is not very healthy, as it contains a lot of fat and spices. You can prepare a healthier, but no less tasty version of French fries yourself. In this case, you do not need special equipment like deep frying. Delicious, healthy potatoes are cooked in the oven, so the term “fries” will be in quotation marks.

To prepare this dish, in addition to the potatoes themselves, you will need the following products:

Vegetable oil (better aromatic, for example, olive) – 2 tablespoons;
Salt – 1 teaspoon;
Chopped paprika – 1 teaspoon;
Spices to taste: for example, garlic powder.

Wash the peeled potatoes and cut into cubes. The size of the cubes should be approximately the same so that the potatoes bake evenly. Dry the potatoes slightly to remove excess moisture. All you have to do is spread it out on a paper towel for a few minutes, and in the meantime start refueling.

The basis of the dressing is oil. However, the finished potatoes will not be greasy; this recipe uses much less oil than when frying.
Mix a few tablespoons of oil with salt to taste. If you plan to cook potatoes as a side dish, just a teaspoon of salt is enough. If you are preparing a snack for a foamy drink, add more salt. Add dried crushed paprika to the marinade, it will give a beautiful color to the finished dish, and spices to taste. The best combinations with French fries are garlic powder, oregano, and rosemary.

Mix potato wedges with marinade. Each potato slice should be coated with the flavorful butter mixture. It is more convenient and easier to mix potatoes and marinade in a plastic bag. Just put the potatoes in a bag and pour the marinade on them. Tie the bag and shake it well.
