  • No fryer? No problem. Jacques Pépin picked up this oven-baked french fries recipe from his daughter, Claudine. It has less calories than traditional fries and you don't have to stand over a fryer. Just pop them in the oven at 425 degrees for 45 minutes. Jacques goes the rustic "skin-on" route (aka "In-n-Out style") but feel free to peel according to your preference. Happy cooking!
    What you'll need:
    1.5 lbs potatoes, 2 - 3 tbsp oil (jacques uses peanut), 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp herb de provence, salt

    I do basically identical chips but I parboil first then shake through a colander then do the seasoning because I like the fluffy edges (that become nice crispy edges), my oven has an "air fryer" rack in the top, I make them when I'm cooking something else as a roast so it doesn't matter if any oil drips. Very nice. Don't have to parboil them though, and most of the time I don't bother haha.

      @wrxtuan 10 місяців тому +2

      If you have one, place the potatoes on top of a wire rack placed on top of the baking sheet. You need the air flow on all sides to prevent the sogginess. These potatoes seems better suited for using an air fryer for that reason.
