Mimi Fries
Serves: 2 People
INGREDIENTS:
6 small potatoes
2 tablespoons Grape Seed Oil
Dash of Salt and Pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C)
2.) Wash potatoes thoroughly
3.) Cut of the bad parts of the potatoes.
(You can peel the whole potato but I don’t recommend it. The potato skin holds a lot of the nutrients including Vitamin C, potassium, B6, fiber, and so on)
4.) Cut the potatoes into sticks.
5.) Transfer the potatoes into a bowl.
6.) Add 2 tbsp of oil to the bowl and coat all the potatoes with the oil.
7.) Put a non-waxed baking sheet on a oven pan.
8.) Place the potato sticks on the pan. (Best if they are not on top of each other)
9.) Bake for 30 – 40 minutes. (You can bake it longer if you want them crispier)
10.) Take them out of the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper as much as desired. (I personally love iodized Sea Salt or pink Himalayan Salt, which is referred to as the purest salt on planet earth)
VARIATIONS:
Soft Mimi Fries: Set the heat to about 350 degrees F and bake them little longer, if you like your fries soft.
Crispy Mimi Fries: Set the oven heat to 420 degrees F and don’t bake them longer then 35 minutes, if you like your fries nice and crispy.
Also take in consideration what oven pan you are using. If you use a metal pan you want to watch the fries because they might burn quicker. If you use a ceramic, porcelain or glass pan, the fires won’t burn as easy. (I burned fries before, but Max still ate them lol)
DIFFERENT FLAVOR OPTIONS:
Garlic Mimi Fries: Before you start, prepare your own garlic oil: Mince 4 gloves of garlic. Heat the garlic and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Strain the garlic from the oil with a small mesh strainer. Set both garlic and oil aside. This is the oil you will use for coating the potatoes (as described above in step 6). Once you baked the potatoes with your self made garlic oil, take them out of the oven and toss them with your garlic. Add salt and pepper for taste.
Cheese Mimi Fries: Once you take the hot fries out of the oven, sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top of them.
SERVE SUGGESTIONS:
Serve the Mimi fries as a side dish, a main dish, a snack or as a treat.
MIMI'S SPECIAL TIP:
We usually eat Mimi fries as a treat! Most of the time we have a full meal with bunch of vegetables and fill our bellies with lots of valuable nutrients while the potatoes are still in the oven. Once we are done with our delicious vegetable meal, we enjoy the Mimi fries with Himalayan Salt and black pepper fresh out of the oven and still hot.
