Baked Mexican French Fries with Salsa Ketchup
Mexican French Fries that are baked not fried - bursting with fiesta spices for a healthy snack, side or appetizer that no one will be able to stop munching! This Mexican French Fries recipe is my absolute favorite! Delicious fries spiced with salt, pepper, garlic powder, ground cumin and chipotle pepper.
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 medium russet potatoes (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper
Salsa Ketchup
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons salsa
- Hot sauce to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the potatoes into thin fries no wider than 1/4 inch.
- Add all of the ingredients except the French fries to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add French fries and toss until evenly coated.
- Spread potatoes evenly over prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes then toss, and stir and rearrange fries in a single layer and bake for an additional 10 minutes. If you like crispier fries, then broil until golden and crispy.
- To make the Salsa Ketchup, whisk together the ketchup and salsa in a small bowl. Taste and add more salsa for more "salsa" taste, more ketchup for more "ketchup" taste. Add hot sauce to taste. You can also add mayonnaise for a creamy version - like Salsa Ketchup Fry Sauce.
Notes
*If you don't have chipotle pepper, you can add a dash of cayenne pepper - just a dash though because cayenne is spicier than chipotle pepper.
