Do you like French fries? I do! And I've never eaten so many French fries in my life until I discovered this amazing recipe, because they're much healthier and also taste so good.
These potatoes are not really fried, they're baked, but are super crispy and you only need one ingredient: potatoes, that's all!
Sometimes I peel the potatoes, sometimes I don't, you choose. These French fries are delicious with ketchup, guacamole, tamari or any sauce you like. You can also add some extra virgin olive oil on top if you want and as it's uncooked, it's healthier because it keeps all the nutrients.
Try to avoid fried foods because frying is the worst and the unhealthiest cooking method, especially if you use refined oils or if you reheat the oil so many times. It's really easy to enjoy delicious, healthy and nutritious foods!
Tips:
- As the potatoes are fat-free, they tend to stick to the baking tray, so I recommend you to put parchment paper onto the baking tray.
- Baking time may vary depending on the oven you're using or the amount of potatoes you're baking.

Can I use foil on the baking sheet if I don't have parchment paper
Iosune Robles says
Hi Monica! Feel free to use foil on the baking sheet instead of parchment paper 🙂
Joanne says
Do you have to flip them half way through?
Iosune says
Hi Joanne! It's not necessary, although it's okay if you flip them 🙂

What a treat these french fries are. And best of all, they are oil free!! I would try baking french fries in the past and would always use olive oil to keep them from sticking. Never once thought about using parchment paper. Thank you very much for the idea and the guilt free french fries! You are the best!
Iosune says
Hi Lawrence! You're so welcome 🙂 Thank YOU for your comment. So glad you like my recipes 🙂

What altitude are you at? So many oil-feee fry recipe soup say different times and temperatures and I’m trying to adapt the time and temps to my altitude.
Iosune says
Hi Tavia! I'm 7 meters (about 23 feet) above sea level 🙂

I thought once they potatoes have been cut , they should be rinsed, patted dry , then baked.
Iosune says
Hi there! That's the way we make it and we love it 🙂
Ivana says
These are amazing! I always hated frying them, and they were always too oily. I considered them an unhealthy treat, and rarely ate them. This way I can make them all the time 🙂 Thanks for an amazing idea.
Iosune says
Hi Ivana! Thanks a lot 😀 Hope you like it!

Found out that if some paprika is sprinkled before baking they get a nicer look.
Iosune says
Hi Joe! I also love paprika 😀 Thanks a lot for your comment!

I hope the link works. I took it off your blog. It was on the right side of the page, along with all the ads. It doesn't seem appropriate for a vegan blog. (a woman inserting a knife into meat to make way for garlic cloves) . If it was on my page I would want a heads up!!
