//------------------------------// // Applejack's Home Fries (Beginner Recipe) // Story: My Little Cook Book: Flavor Is Magic! // by Slippin_Sweetie //------------------------------// Howdy to whoever's reading this. Now despite my reputation is an apple farmer and loving all things apple-related. I don't produce JUST apples on my farm, and I don't eat only apples. That'd be ridiculous, now home fries or 'chips' as some of them Canterlot up-tights call them. You're going to need the following ingredients for a medium batch of fries. -Four potatoes (I prefer golden potatoes, but you can use russets.) -Olive oil (Or vegetable oil) -Seasoned salt -Cajun seasoning -Garlic powder -Onion powder -Salt -Pepper -A large bowl -Baking sheet First, you're gonna want to get a knife and cut your potatoes into fat wedges. You should get about four or six fries per potato, but it depends on the size. Next, you'll want to coat them in olive oil; you want enough to coat the potatoes since that's what's frying them. Season with as much seasonings as you want. Frankly, you can just use salt, and they'll taste pretty good, but if you want an exact measurement for a well-rounded fry, then you can follow my personal mix. -Half-cup of Cajun season -Half a cup of seasoned salt -Quarter cup of garlic powder -Quarter cup onion powder -A punch of salt and pepper Next, you'll wanna lightly grease a baking tray or use a non-stick pan or whatever fancy aluminum foil to make sure your fries don't stick. Set your fries out, don't pad off any oil yet; you'll need it to fry. Preheat your oven for 450 degrees and then put your fries in for about thirty minutes. Flip your fries once they're fifteen minutes into baking. Pull out, use a paper towel to pad off any excess grease, and let them rest til cooled. And then you're done. Home fries usually pair with other dishes nicely if you need a carb and if bits are tight and you want some french fries that are a bit healthier on you and your wallet. Be sure to give them a try with a carrot-dog or your next Sunday meal.
