BEST BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray.
• Place sliced potatoes in a colander; sprinkle sugar over potatoes. Set aside until liquid is released from potatoes, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain liquid and dry potatoes well.
• Mix potato slices, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a resealable bag until evenly coated. Spread coated potato slices in a single layer, leaving space around each potato, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip fries and continue baking until crisp and browned, about 20 more minutes.

HEAVENLY COUNTRY-STYLE HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Place diced potatoes, onion, paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Toss to evenly coat the potatoes.
• In a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
• Increase skillet heat to medium-high and add potato mixture. Toss to coat evenly with butter.
• Cover skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning and scraping the potatoes to prevent burning.
• When potatoes are fork-tender, remove skillet cover.
• With the back of your spatula, pat potatoes down into an even layer in skillet. Allow to fry untouched for 2 minutes. Then turn potatoes over and do the same for another 2 minutes. This will nicely brown and crisp the outside of the potatoes.
• Serve immediately.

HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Heat the remaining bacon fat and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until well browned on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes in small sections, and continue cooking, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes or until well browned. Stir in the onions, heat through, and sprinkle with the parsley and cayenne, if desired. Transfer to a warm platter and crumble the bacon on top, serve. Copyright 2005 Television Food Network, G.P.

HOOSIER CREEK FRIES

Steps:

• 1. this is a 7 layered recipe--2 sheets heavy duty foil same size, a layer of bacon--potatoes--onions--potatoes--bacon--2 layers of heavy duty foil same size. I buy the amount listed as its better to have, than run out. remember I am camping!!! one large cookies sheet for carrying to and from grill
• 2. 2 sheets foil even and add a layer of bacon leaving 2 inches from edge on all sides, use plenty of bacon as this seasons and cooks everything
• 3. peel and thinly slice potatoes it takes a lot as you want about one inch of potatoes or more depending on how many people you want to feed salt and pepper I use a lot, as we love the taste...
• 4. slice and layer onions on top of potatoes as many as you would like. you want enough to season potatoes the way you like to your taste. some want less onions and some want more. I make two pouches makes every body happy
• 5. repeat potato layer and salt and pepper, try and match layers for thickness
• 6. add a layer of bacon same size as bottom layer
• 7. add last two sheets of foil, match up edges and on long side fold tightly up to filling and press down, repeat on other side. now do same with ends, this has to be tight so it doesn't leak onto grill. pickup carefully and lay on hot grill
• 8. time--depends on size of pouch. I cook until I hear bacon sizzle and turn over using tongs and hot pad, do not poke a hole as steam needed to cook and a leak will start a fire on grill and repeat turning again until each side has 2 cooking each and pouch looks puffed up, that how I know the potatoes are tender and bacon has seasoned the whole pouch. remove to a cookie sheet (we make huge batches) be care full and make an x in top, don't get burned by the steam insert big long handled spoon enjoy no dishes
