Oven ‘Fries’

Soaking the potatoes in a salt-sugar solution draws out some of their water, so they brown, rather than steam, in the oven.

[makes 4 servings]

1 1/4 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch strips

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

4 teaspoons oil

1 teaspoon paprika

 

Preheat the oven to 450 F; spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the sugar with cold water to cover. Soak 15 minutes; drain and blot dry.

In another large bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil and paprika. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake, turning the potatoes over as they brown, until cooked through and crisp, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
