Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 medium russet potatoes, unpeeled (about 1 3/4 pounds)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 large red jalapeno chile, seeded & membranes removed
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• salt
• 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 chipotle pepper, seeded and minced
• 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (from chipotle can)
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• 2 cut potatoes lengthwise into slices that are 1/3-inch thick and then cut each slice into 1/3-inch thick strips. dry the potatoes between two kitchen towels. (make sure the fries are bone dry.) in a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. (don't over oil or they will become soggy.).
• 3 divide the potatoes between two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spread into a single layer. bake until the potatoes are golden brown, about 40 minutes, turning the potatoes every 10 minutes, and rotating the racks halfway through baking. note: mine took less than 40 minutes and turning, also, prevents sticking.
• 4 heat 1 teaspoon olive in a small nonstick skillet set over medium heat. add garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes. take care not to burn the garlic.
• 5 place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl and toss with garlic, peppers, and cilantro. taste and season with additional salt, if necessary.
• 6 to make sauce: in a medium bowl, stir to combine yogurt, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce and lime juice. serve with fries.
