Stovetop Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir potato strips in the hot oil-butter until browned on all sides, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer fries to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Rinse potato cubes with cold water, and drain well. Melt butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Place potatoes in the skillet, and stir to coat with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, and cook for another 10 minutes, turning frequently until brown and crisp on all sides..

Steps:

• Cut the potato into 1/2-inch slices. (You can peel it or not. I don't usually peel mine). Cut each slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. After 1 minute, carefully put 1 potato strip in the pan. If it immediately begins to sizzle, add the rest of the potatoes. If it doesn't sizzle, wait another 30 seconds and try a second strip. If the oil isn't hot enough, the potatoes will stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Fry for 1 minute and turn them over with a spatula. Continue turning them every minute or so until they have become golden brown. If they start to burn, turn the heat down to medium.
• Drain the fries on paper towels, sprinkle on some salt and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil, shiny side up. Place in the oven while you prepare the potatoes.
• Cut the potatoes into wedges that are 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick at the thickest point and toss with the olive oil and salt.
• Remove the hot pan from the oven, and add the potatoes to the pan in an even layer. They should sizzle. Return to the oven, and lower the heat to 450 degrees. Roast 25 minutes or until tender.
• Remove the pan from the oven, and loosen the potatoes from the foil using an offset spatula. Return to the oven and cook for another five minutes. Serve at once, seasoned with more salt if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Cut each potato into 12 wedges. In a large bowl, combine oil, paprika, salt and garlic powder. Add potatoes; toss to coat., Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until tender, 40-45 minutes, turning once.
