Crispy fries without oil are fat-free!
Crispy, oil-free, baked fries
as opposed to fried ones. That's correct, these golden fries don't need to be
fried. With just two ingredients, russet potatoes, and sea salt, this recipe
may be the simplest you've ever made.

agree that homemade, freshly cut fries are the best there is?"

My fiance is Belgian, and Belgium KNOWS how to make a nice French fry, so I might be a little biased. When passing by a business selling "fries" (shouldn't they be called Belgian fries? ), you cannot help but notice the aroma of freshly cooked fries. Ha! I'll move on
Russet potatoes: Because they
are very starchy potatoes, russet potatoes must be used in this recipe. Fries
made using russets will have a crispy, golden surface and a soft interior. YUM.
Stone Baking Sheet: Baking
your fries on a stone baking sheet (or pizza stone) as opposed to a baking pan
is like baking them on a different day. With a stone baking sheet, you don't
need to use ANY non-stick spray or parchment paper. Your potato slices will
quickly crisp up and develop the ideal crunchy surface.
When placing your fries on
the stone baking sheet, make sure they are not overlapping one another. If the
fries touch, they will "steam" and not become as crisp as they
should.

When we were living in
Belgium, I would frequently prepare these Crispy Oil-Free Fries as a healthy
substitute for the fries from the Frites shop. And if you use a few easy
techniques to bake fries in the oven, they will come out just as crispy as
fried fries (lol) without the grease.

Oil-Free Fries, take a picture and tag me on Instagram with #CearasKitchen, or

Did I mention that these
crispy oil-free fries can also be used to make vegan poutine? If you're
unfamiliar with Poutine, it's a bizarre Canadian delicacy made up of french
fries, cheese curds, and gravy. YUM.
