Roasted French-Style Potatoes

Something a little different from the usual oven fries. I first had these at a tiny restaurant in Montreal and really wanted to replicate their recipe; it’s not exactly the same but fairly close. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.

Step: 1

Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch strips.

Step: 2

Fill a medium bowl with cold water and soak cut potatoes for 15 minutes.

Step: 3

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking oil.

Step: 4

Remove the potatoes from the water and dry well.

Step: 5

Combine white wine, oil, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Spread out potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer without touching.

Step: 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn and continue roasting, turning occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.

One of most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. When you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
