Red Potato Fries
I love French fries; it is one of my favourite foods. If someone asked me if I had to eat just one food for the rest of my life, what would that be? I might actually pick fries. For some reason though, roasted potatoes are not really my thing.
A few weeks ago, we had some red potatoes in the fridge so I decided to try making some wedges with them. They turned out better than I had hoped (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside) and I think it was one ingredient that was the reason for that – mayonnaise (🤫 don’t tell my husband since he doesn’t like mayo, but at least I have the defense that he had wolfed them down 😂).
I hope you enjoy this recipe for red potato fries…
