Frozen French Fries

"If potatoes are on sale, buy a bag and make your own frozen french fries. Prep and cooking times are approximate. The true time will depend, of course, on how many fries you make and how thick you cut them."

directions

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into french fries.
  • Put the raw french fries in a ziplock bag and shake to coat with a little olive oil and cajun seasoning.
  • Bake at 425 F until just done.
  • Cool, then set the cookie sheet they were baked on in the freezer until they are frozen solid.
  • Scoop them off with a spatula and store in 5 quart ice cream buckets.
  • That way you can have as few or many as you like without having to go for an extra bag.
  • To heat them up just throw them back in the oven on a cookie sheet at 425 F for about 15 minutes.

  1. I am rating this recipe a five star because it's a great and simple idea. We got out the food processor last night and whizzed up a 5kg bag of potatoes. We left the skins on the potatoes this time. For a bit of variety we did plain french fries and Cajun fries. There was a bit of a production line going with 3 shelves in the oven in use. I was thinking of putting the chips in zip lock bags after they cooled but I am glad that we used the ice cream containers so thumbs on the ice-cream container idea as this will prevent the fries from being squashed in the freeze. We had fries for lunch thed next day!!! *wicked smile* They were far far better than the store bought ones. Another one of your great ideas, Sackville Girl. Please keep your ideas coming. Thank you!!!!
     
  2. Doesn't get much easier. I used Tony Chachere's seasoning and we really loved the flavor of these fries. I won't be buying frozen fries in the store anymore, these are so good!
     
  3. Worked like a charm! I love that we can have these ready to go whenever the mood for fries hits. I had to bake mine for about 25 mins. to get them crispy. Thanks for posting the recipe!
     
  4. Loved this idea. I had several potatoes that needed to be used before they went bad so found this recipe. I made several zip lock bags with different seasonings: some plain, some Cajun, some Italian. The grandson loved to be able to get into the freezer to grab some great fries. Thanks for sharing Sackville. Made for Cookbook Tag.
     
  5. Great use of potatoes I needed to use up - yummy!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
