Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized strips. Spread the potato strips out in a single layer on a lightly greased jelly roll pan, ensuring that they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
-
Initial Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. This initial bake will help to start crisping up the fries.
-
Season and Butter: After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the potatoes. If needed, use a little extra butter to ensure that all the fries are coated. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper over the top, then season generously with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
-
Toss and Coat: Toss the potatoes gently to make sure that all the fries are coated with the melted butter and seasonings. This step ensures that every fry is flavored beautifully.
-
Final Baking: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. The exact time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the fries, so keep an eye on them to achieve the perfect crispness.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these Twice-Baked French Fries as a delicious side dish or a satisfying snack that’s sure to please everyone at the table. 🌟🍴
