Baked French Fries With Chile Peppers & Cilantro
- 1-3/4 pound Russet Potatoes (about 4 Medium), Unpeeled
- 3 Tablespoons Plus 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil, Divided
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3/4 whole Red Jalapeno Pepper, Seeds And Membranes Removed
- 1/4 cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro
- 1 pinch Salt To Taste (if Needed)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into slices that are 1/3-inch thick and then cut each slice into 1/3-inch thick strips. Dry the potatoes between two kitchen towels. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Divide the potatoes between two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spread into a single layer.
- Bake until the potatoes are golden brown, about 40 minutes, turning the potatoes every 10 minutes, and rotating the racks halfway through baking.
- Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive in a small nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Take care not to burn the garlic.
- Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl and toss with garlic, peppers, and cilantro. Taste (careful - they'll be hot!) and season with additional salt, if necessary. Serve.
