Baking Stone Fries

"These chips are great, vary the flavor to your liking. I use no oil but if you wish spray the chips with a little oil,before putting in the oven and spray again when you turn them. You really don't need to! Try sprinkling them with salt and Adobo spice -"

directions

  • Peel and cut your potatoes into french fry chips.
  • Place in cold water until you want to cook them, this removes some of the starch from the potato. Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Place a circle of baker's paper on the cold stone, already set in the handle (rack), the paper just protects the stone and makes for easy cleaning.
  • Dry the potatoes on paper towels and sprinkle them with salt pepper and your favorite spice blend (or garlic powder) Arrange them on the baking stone and place in the oven.
  • After about 20 minutes take stone out of oven and turn the chips over.
  • Return to oven and continue baking for a further 15-20 minutes or until they are brown and puffed.

  1. These were so fantastic- the baking pans seemed to add the proper touch of crisp to the potato skin (which, actually, I left on). I used sea salt, pepper, and a splash of vinegar. Who needs ketchup??
     
  2. This cooking method makes the most awesome fries. I followed your directions exactly. I used salt, pepper, and Tony Chachere's creole seasoning. The fries had just the right amount of crispness. This is a much healthier way to satisfy my french fry craving. Bergy, you are a peach for sharing this.
     
  3. These are GREAT! I used sea salt too, with a little garlic powder. I made chipotle mayo for BF to use as dip but I ate them plain. They are wonderful, and if you let them cook long enough they get nice and crispy, but not greasy like normal fries. Thanks!!
     
  4. These were super easy and very tasty. This is the first thing I prepared on my new stone and my husband thought they were really good. I didn't let them get cripsy because we like them softer and I used the pepper, salt, and garlic since I didn't have Mrs. Dash. Will make again soon!
     
  5. Very good! I baked mine directly on my large bar pan baking stone. I have such good luck using my stones that I rarely use paper. I did spray both the bottom of the pan and the potatoes themselves with spray oil. I also sprinkled with salt only before the baked. Some might say that I left them a little too long since they were quite crunchy. I forgot that the stone would help them stay hot. Actually I prefer them crunchy to soft, because then they still taste good even cold. Thanks Bergy! This is the first time I have baked homemade fries on the stone...big success and so much better than the frozen ones!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging. Here are a few of my photos <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowNetworking="all" allowFullscreen="true" src="http://w615.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w615.photobucket.com/albums/tt233/Bergylicious/ABM slideshow/d95d7a18.pbw" height="360" width="480">
