  • Pre-heat the oven to its maximum temperature for atleast 15 minutes.
  • Wash potatoes well under cold runing water to remove any dirt. Cut the potato lengthwise using a sharp knife.
  • Trim the edges on all sides(I did only 2 sides) to make a rectangle kind of shape.
  • Cut into wedges shown in picture. Cu(above in the post). Cut lengthwise further into ¼ inch thick fries.
  • Soak the cut fries in hot water for 7-10 minutes or parboil them until they turn a little softer but still retain the shape.
  • Drain the fries and pat dry them using a muslin cloth or paper towel.Ensure the fries are as dry as possible and no mosture left.
  • Transfer to a large plate , rub olive oil and add combined spices.rub the seasoning well until asll the fries are coated well with masalas.

Baking masala fries

  • Line the masala coated fries on a baking paper without making them crowded.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes by checking and flipping halfway through or until a nice golden crisp edges form.

Serving

  • Garnish with chopped coarinder and sprinkle additonal salt or chat masala if needed as per your taste. Serve with a ketchup or yogurt dip or as a sdie to burgers or omlette.

Notes

Use a starchy variety of potatoes like Russets, King Edwards or Mayes Piper.
Do not miss parboiling if you plan to bake the fries. You can also bake them using an air fryer.
Best to use baking paper instead of foil paper to avoids potatoes sticking to the base.
You can try roasting them in a wide pan with a teaspoon of oil on low flame. ensure the fries are not crowded.
Serve masala fries with burgers, paneer patties , omelettes. Makes a great side for light sandwiches too.
nutritional value is approximate and per serving.
