Right in time for Friday! Lots of baked tato options! To serve as a side with your veggie burgers or eat the whole plate as is. Its potatoes.. they are baked, they are good for you;) well atleast gooder than fried ones.
Chewie’s birthday is coming up! He is our adopted baby, who went from shelter to rescue to adoptive home, then back to rescue then came to our home and marked the entire place (dog owners will know what I mean;)..What do you think I should do to celebrate.. a birthday cause or sell some cafepress tees with Chewie on them 🙂 . He plays with only some dogs, is civil to most. On the other hand, he loves all humans, loves to meet everyone and loves to get petted. the only humans he will growl at are a few really huge ones with hoodies or gadgets(I have no clue why).

I enjoy baked version of fries over deep fried version. Nice.
Thanks Srimathi! We enjoy baked ones too!
i see you getting creative with your photos. really good photos richa. i have made baked potatoes but i don’t like them.
i used to think i am doing something wrong. but checked some sites and the method i follow is the same.
it is not crispy on the outside and tender inside like the fried ones. the bakes ones are always a bit hard and chewy. i prefer the fried potatoes any day.
creative with pictures= took too many pictures since i couldnt figure out what was working 🙂
The Russet potato ones come out crisp, but yes they are a bit tender inside. I dont feel good in the tummy if i eat too many fried fries:) and baked means no standing in the kitchen!:)
Love baked french fries… I usually parboil them before baking to get them really crispy and just read that soaking the poatoe strips in ice cold water for 10-15 minutes before baking too gives great results…
Thanks for the tips Anisha. It depends on the potato type. Russets dont need to be parboiled. i’ll try the cold water trick!:)
very healthy and yummy chips.. I don’t mind having that plate right now. 🙂

Nothing beats baked french fries! Yours look super good and I like the suggestion for the garam masala fries! That’s definitely going to happen!
