Mojo French Fries
If you’re tired of boring old fries, then let me introduce you to their flavorful cousin: Mojo French Fries! These bad boys are like a fiesta for your taste buds, bringing a splash of excitement to your plate.
Ingredients
Gather these mighty ingredients to unleash the magic of Mojo fries:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (because more garlic, more flavor!)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed for the win!)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional but recommended for the splash of color!)
Instructions
1. First, let’s get those potatoes ready! Peel them (if you want to, but who am I to judge your potato skin preference?) and cut them into thin strips. Think French fry shape, but with more flair!
2. Next, soak those potato strips in cold water for about 30 minutes. This little water bath helps make your fries super crispy.
3. While the potatoes are soaking, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. This mixture will be the Mojo that brings our fries to life!
4. After 30 minutes, drain and dry the potato strips. It’s time to get them coated in that delicious Mojo mixture. Toss them in the bowl until every little fry is covered with flavor.
5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the coated fries evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have room to breathe (because fries need space too!).
6. Bake those delicious morsels in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through for that glorious even browning. Keep an eye on them, you don’t want them to get too crispy (unless that’s your thing, then go for it!).
7. Once they’re golden brown and crispy, pull them out of the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if you’re feeling fancy. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and prepare for the flavor explosion!
There you have it! Your Mojo French Fries are ready to take center stage at your snack time. Enjoy every crispy bite and let the good times roll!
