If you have two baking sheets that are the same, you can use the second one flipped upside down on the first one instead of aluminum foil. I do this with many things to avoid the waste of aluminum foil.

*EXACTLY !!!* I've mentioned this same issue as a Chef, and it seems that everyone still doesn't get the concept of using two of the same 1/2-Sheet Pans wasting miles on foil for nothing!

Speaking of the dark potato chips Utz now has a flavor called dark russets which is basically a bag full of the slightly burnt chips. So good.

It literally says right on the bag that they are not burnt, but russet's have a higher sugar content, and its the sugar carmelizing.

@yourleftisttesticle Жыл бұрын

Potato bites, fries, and wedges were the first side dishes I learned to do right. It sometimes seems like I've mastered them, but then I learn a different approach, such as putting the seasoning on the pan. Of course, I don't think I'll personally follow that approach, as It seems like it uses more salt than I am allowed to consume (kidneys). However, covering it with foil I might do. It seems like trapping the heat increased the browning. Absolutely need that in for any roasted fry.

As a Chef.....drop the aluminum foil! Why? Because it's a waste and you DON'T need it and instead, use a second 1/2-sheet pan, turn it upside down and cover the lower pan with it! DONE.

Then take it out of the microwave and let cool a bit. Add your prepared potatoes and coat them all. Cook on a foil lined baking sheet, covered, at 425 degrees F for about 25 minutes, then remove the foil and cook an additional 12 minutes or so on each side. You don't taste the cornstarch; it just make a good crunchy crust.

The foil can be sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking and also drizzle 2 tablespoons or so of vegetable oil over the potatoes to give the right french fried flavor.

? Will it work with light olive oil (it’s healthier)? You said leave foil on first 5min, but when first half time -20min you said-you had foil on then removed. So leave foil on longer than 5 min(?), and not have on after flip for 2nd half cooking? I’m confused. Tks ahead for reply. Also will this work with skin on?(has more nutrients)

@sigrid714 Жыл бұрын

Being a lazy person always trying to cut corners in the process, I microwave the potatoes whole until they're about 180°F by infrared thermometer (about 2 min per side). This method only works on potatoes that aren't too thick otherwise the center will be undercooked. I then just leave them out to cool until they're cool enough to handle, and then cut them into fries. They should be cooked enough to not oxidize, but still be firm enough to toss with some oil and seasonings. Then I air fry them at 390°F for about 20-25mins or until golden brown. They end up crispy and golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and because they're semi pre cooked in the microwave, they end up white and fluffy and don't have any greying or gumminess from oxidation. It's a quick way to get restaurant style fries without any soaking or parboiling or drying.

@wastrelway3226 Жыл бұрын

Sigrid, I'm lazy, too and I would never do this recipe or yours. I don't peel, I cut them into fries, fry with bacon grease in a wok, done. It doesn't take much grease and you just keep tossing them until they are evenly browned. (I don't own a microwave or an air fryer, anyway.)

@leapintothewild Жыл бұрын

I microwave fresh cut potatoes in a glass bowl, no liquid, and air fry or oven fry with a little oil and salt - very similar to what you describe. Also do the same for roasted potatoes. Saves a ton of time after a long day!
