Spicy French Fries

So I have good news & bad news. The good news? My first attempt at spicy french fries was extremely successful - they were delicious. The bad news? They were so good that we ate them all immediately and I didn't get to take any photos. So you will just have to trust me that these french fries are amazing! I served him them homemade garlic aioli.

Garlic Aioli:

Ingredients:

1/3 cup light mayonnaise

1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Spicy French Fries

Ingredients:

5 medium potatoes, peeled & cut into thin strips about 1/4" thick (I used Russet)

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp chili sauce

1 tbsp lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Place cut potatoes into bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Drain & rinse well.

2. In large bowl, mix remainder of ingredients. Add sliced potatoes and toss to coat.

3. Line a large baking sheet with tin foil & spray with cooking oil. Place potatoes in single layer onto baking pan.

4. Bake at 375 F for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for another 15 minutes. Thin-cut potatoes should be crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. If you prefer, bake for additional 15 minutes for extra crispy potatoes. Serve with garlic aioli and enjoy immediately!
