Baked Mashed Potato Fries

Baked Mashed Potato Fries

I’m sure that by now you’ve all had baked potato fries. Healthier than fries, and quite delicious too. But have you had these Baked Mashed Potato Fries? It’s like a cross between creamy, soft mashed potatoes, but in the form of crispy fries. Unlike regular fries which can only be flavoured on the outside, the flavour for these come from within. And based on your preference that day, you can season these best you like. Creamy and soft on the inside, yet crisp and crunchy on the outside. I think this is how perfect must be defined.

I flavoured these with a few Indian spices, but feel free to season them however you like your potatoes best. Just salt and pepper would do just fine.

And these are quite simple to make too. Just boil and mash some potatoes. Season them with spices and bind them together with besan (chickpea flour).  Pipe them on to a baking tray. Lightly spray with oil.

Bake them for half hour. Cool slightly before devouring them completely!

Neat, huh? Dunk them in your favourite dip – I like mine with sour cream or ranch dip. Something about the dairy to wash down the masala with.

    When you say 1 large potato, Do you mean 1 kg? The ratios have turned out completely wrong when I used just 1 potato

      No, I meant 1 large russet potato. I’m sorry to hear this did not turn out well for you. If you can explain what went wrong, we can try and troubleshoot this together.

    I am avoiding bean and grain flours. What can I substitute besan with? Thanks!

      Cynthia, substitute with any flour you can eat- the flour is just a binding agent, so you can use almond flour or anything else you want.

      Thanks Karly! Although, it was sheer luck, not so much genius involved!
