I made this up with two of my daughter's favorite foods in mind: french fries and pizza. She took one bite and said These are good! They taste like pizza! Exactly what I had in mind. Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs potatoes |
1/4 cup tomato paste |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
2 teaspoons fennel seeds |
2 teaspoons mild paprika |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat lightly with oil.
3. Grind fennel seed, oregano and basil into a powder using a spice mill or mortar and pestle.
4. Wash, peel and slice potatoes into thin french fry shapes.
5. Combine ground spices, tomato paste, garlic powder, salt, sugar and oil in a small bowl until smooth.
6. Place potatoes and seasoning paste in a large ziplock or plastic bag.
7. Using your hands, move the potatoes around in the bag until they are evenly coated with the seasoning paste.
8. Place potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
9. Bake for 25 minutes at 400°F.
10. Using a spatula, turn potatoes over and sprinkle with parmesan cheese (if using).
11. Bake for 10-20 minutes more or until fries become golden and start to crisp (time may vary with size of fries).
12. Serve with marinara sauce or ketchup, if desired.
