Items needed to answer the question, How do I make Fancy Vegan Burger fries that are crispy and golden. Items include: potatoes olive oil paprika garlic powder onion powder salt and pepper

potatoes 4 medium-sized
olive oil 2 tablespoons
paprika 1 teaspoon
garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon
onion powder 1/2 teaspoon
salt and pepper pinch

Take note
Be careful when handling hot oil and use caution while frying to avoid any accidents.

1

Preheat the oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will help us achieve that perfectly crispy exterior.

2

Prepare the potatoes

Wash and peel 4 medium-sized potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized fries so they cook uniformly. You can either leave the skin on for some added texture and nutrients or remove it completely.

3

Soak the fries

Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.

4

Dry the fries

After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they're completely dry before moving on to the next step.

5

Season the fries

In a separate bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the dry fries in this seasoning mixture to coat them evenly.

6

Bake or air fry the fries

For baking, spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy. If you prefer air frying, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook the fries for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally for even cooking.

7

Serve and enjoy

Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven or air fryer. Sprinkle some additional salt and herbs of your choice, such as parsley or rosemary, for extra flavor. Serve them hot alongside your fancy vegan burger and enjoy!
