Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Chili Fries.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing a spacious baking sheet to ensure your fries don’t stick.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your cut potatoes and immerse them in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes; this simple step helps wash away excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine vegetable oil, tomato-vegetable juice cocktail, chili powder, onion granules, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sugar, and salt.
Step 4
Whisk these ingredients together until they form a harmonious blend.
Step 5
Once the potatoes have soaked, drain them and gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove any lingering moisture.
Step 6
Toss the dried potatoes in the flavorful oil mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 7
Arrange the fries in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, giving them room to crisp up beautifully.
Step 8
Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 9
After this initial bake, flip the fries to ensure even cooking, then continue baking for another 20 minutes or until they achieve a golden brown hue and a satisfying crunch.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await your perfectly baked fries!.
