LITTLE MISS TASTY

WOLF'S FRIES

Ingredients

  • 6-8 Potatoes*
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Optional Garnishes:
    • Green Onions
    • Sour Cream
    • Vegetarian Gravy*
    • Shredded Cheese
      • Or Cheese Curds
    • Chili
*Use whatever kind of potatoes you most enjoy, just do your best to ensure they are of uniform size. If you'd like to make a fast and easy poutine, most of the instant gravy packets you can buy are actually vegan.

Directions

  1. Wash potatoes and peel them (if desired). Cut into fries, as close to uniform size as possible. Place fries in large bowl and cover with water. Let sit 20-30 min then drain. If you want to change the water part way through it will help draw out the starch.
  2. Line a baking sheet with several layers of paper or kitchen towels and lay fries across it, spacing them apart. You may need to do a couple layers or use a second baking sheet. Cover with more towels and leave fries to dry out a bit, about 10-20 min.
  3. Dry the large bowl you soaked the fries in and return them to it. Add enough vegetable oil to coat them and mix well.
  4. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper and spread fries out across it. A bit of space between them helps them cook a bit better but even if they're a bit crowded they will still be great.
  1. Bake at 400 F turning part-way through until fries are desired crispiness, usually around an hour or so, depending on their size.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top in the last few minutes of baking.
  3. Garnish with green onions and sour cream and enjoy! I like to put the sour cream in a squirt bottle.
  4. To make chili cheese fries, heat leftover chili* (just don't add the cashews) and spread over cooked fries then top with shredded cheese.
