How do you make French fries by only boiling without oil frying?

Ingredients:

• Potatoes
• Salt
• Water
• Your choice of seasonings (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, herbs)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

   • Wash and peel the potatoes.
   • Cut them into even strips, similar to traditional French fries.

2. Boil the Potatoes:

   • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
   • Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.
   • Add the potato strips to the boiling water.
   • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not falling apart (approximately 8-10 minutes).

3. Drain and Season:

   • Carefully drain the boiled potatoes using a colander.
   • Allow them to sit for a few minutes to let the excess water evaporate.

4. Season and Crisp:

   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Spread the boiled potato strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Season them with your choice of seasonings.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they start to crisp up. Flip them halfway through the baking time to ensure even crisping.

5. Serve:

   • Once they are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
   • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

This method will give you a healthier alternative to traditional French fries, with a crispy exterior and tender interior, without using oil for frying. Enjoy your meal!
