Oven Baked Crispy Fries and Guacamole
Ingredients
- 11/2 tablespoons olive oil⠀
- salt & pepper⠀
- a sprinkle of paprika⠀
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400. Wash potatoes leaving skin on (you can peel them if you prefer).⠀
Fill a bowl with cold water. Slice potatoes into 3-4 slices length wise and then into strips.⠀
Let potatoes soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes (this removes starch from the potato resulting in crispier french fries). Remove from water and pat dry.⠀
Toss with oil and seasoning.⠀
Bake for 30 minutes. Turn fries and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes .⠀
Make guacamole: 3 avocados, 1 firm tomato, finely diced, 1/2 white onion,⠀1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice, optional salt and pepper to taste.⠀
Open the avocados and scoop out the flesh. An easy way is to cut it length-wise around the pit and than using a chefs knife strike the pit and then twist the knife so you can easily remove the pit and scoop out the flesh.⠀
Mash the flesh with a fork, it can still have hard parts, follow your preference.⠀
Stir the other ingredients. Enjoy
