15 Minute French Fries (WFPB, Oil Free)

[@homemademama5459]

Try dipping them in aquafaba then season them the way you like before baking them it helps with making the outside nice and crisp and the inside nice and soft.

[@TheAmazingJimmy]

Have you done this? Sounds like it would work.

[@homemademama5459]

Yes TheAmazingJimmy I have. I have been making them this way for quite a while and I even have rolled them in a well seasoned homemade bread crumb after dipping them in the aquafaba and it made them even crunchier and amazing. Both of my grown daughters have had them and they do not eat vegan or wfpb like me and they loved them. I've also done this with sweet potatoes and they are even more amazing.

[@butterflylove2642]

Homemade Mama Wow; thank you, very much @Homemade Mama I’ve never thought to do that. Great idea!!!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Yes! aquafaba is great for this!

[@melodieg.6636]

Great idea about baking potatoes and putting them in fridge. I'm going to try that!! I'm going to look up the Dr. Miller too!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Thanks Melodie

[@christym.814]

I made these for my family last night along with a few of your burgers (that I batch make and keep in the freezer) and frozen broccoli. It was an easy and fast and delicious meal! I can always count on your recipes to turn out great! Thank you for all you do!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

I am so glad to hear this!!!

[@jennifermarie4708]

great idea! this is my go to week night dinner with a big bowl of broccoli. I also do the same with sweet potatoes for a little change. Will try your dipping sauce too. I never get sick of the spuds!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Yes! We love broccoli and fries!

[@johncrwarner]

I often steam my potatoes and then use my air fryer at 200°C for 20 minutes on the potato slices and it works well - I call them "Chinese chips" as often on the way home from the pub (in the UK) we stopped off at a Chinese takeaway and they did chips (or as they call them in the US "fries") and I think they boiled their potatoes first or soaked them for a long time in water because they had an interesting taste and texture - and steaming and airfrying seems to replicate them to my memory.

[@Guitargasm1000]

Potatoes are the only thing that keep me from eating everything that isn't nailed down

[@WPT_NL]

Thank you for this amazing recipe! What i want to know, if you roasted the potatoes for about 55 minutes how long can you preserve them in the fridge? So, not frozen. Thank you again and hope to hear

[@fender1000100]

Just found this GREAT. Love fries and it's great to see them cooked healthy. People dont realize that when you deep fry fries they treble in calories and become unhealthy.

[@jessicaarzate1847]

Yummy 😋 thank you for this video! I need to try the hot sauce with the ketchup 😁

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

You are so very welcome! Let me know how you like the sauce!

[@rebeccamercer4160]

Why do you use baking soda in the water with the potatoes? Thank you Gabriel! Also thank you for sharing Bridgette Rose videos ! You all bring so much sunshine to others! I had to get off Facebook ! Was hacked! God bless you and your family!

[@cantstoplion]

Excellent Gabriel. I never thought of the pre-baking thing. Also love this technique because you get the enjoyment of good tasting fries, but your fries aren't overly brown/crispy and thus minimizes the production of acrylamide. Well done brother. Also that Costco saltless salt seasoning is the bomb. For awhile there I couldn't make one of my big ass salads without it. Quite tasty. 😋 Peace

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Thank you so much! I love that costco seasoning too!

[@sharontanouye4707]

I cook fries on a cooling rake in the oven with no cooking sheet under it. Works great!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Yes! Great way to do it Sharon!

[@jennyz8456]

Thanks for sharing. Will definitely make for my kids!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

You are very welcome Jenny, I hope everyone likes them! :)

[@danh5637]

Silpat sheet is better than parchment, cheaper in the long run and better for the environment. Trees take much longer time to replace!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

silpat works great!

[@RedPillVegan]

Great tip prebaked

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Thank you so much RPV!

[@huMblemTw]

Hi Gabriel thanks for the vid! How long will the baked potatoes keep stored in the fridge please ? - 6 months - 12 months can I freeze them like Bananas and then 8 months down the line when I want fries pull 1 or 2 Baked potatoes out of the freezer, slice them up into fries and bake them for 15 minutes ?

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

I would say a week is a good amount of time to plan on storing the baked potatoes in the fridge.

[@cheezheadz3928]

Since he didn't respond to freezer question... No, baked potatoes don't freeze well.

[@melyndamills80]

I'm not finding the video for how you roast potatoes on KZbin or your website. It looks like you wash them with baking soda and vinegar. Is that correct?

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Sorry Melynda, for the wash it is 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar and baking soda. And then I roast them initially for 50-55 minutes at 425

[@femaleintelligent1]

@@PlantBasedGabriel, would you please explain what the apple cider vinegar and baking soda do? Do they help the potatoes crisp up or are they just for cleaning/disinfecting purposes? Also, I didn't see you poke any holes in the potatoes before cooking them. Is poking holes in the potatoes unnecessary to keep them from exploding?

[@cheezheadz3928]

@@femaleintelligent1 Vinegar and soda is for washing, but cleaning that way isnt required. Yes, you should poke holes because they can explode.

[@kathleenzimmerman7058]

Do you poke holes in the potatoes before roasting so they don’t explode?

[@cheezheadz3928]

You should poke holes whether he does or not.

[@femaleintelligent1]

Where's the video on how to roast the potatoes? I can't find it anywhere on Plant Based Gabriel. Would you please include a link in the description?

[@cantstoplion]

Heya female... ok, that feels odd, lol. This is no doubt the video he is referring to - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lafXpJqilsesj6c . Just adjust it for this recipe... you will notice he changes the temperature and duration of the roast at the beginning of the video we are watching here to accommodate the larger size of the potatoes in this recipe. Also, he probably didn't use the seasoning mix he uses on the tri-colored fingerling potatoes he's roasting in the linked video, as it isn't needed to make fries. That would just be a taste thing, not crucial/necessary to the fries, and most of the the cut fries surfaces would not have the seasoning on them... only on the skin. This should get you on point. Hope I was helpful. Peace

[@cheezheadz3928]

He shows what he does in the beginning of this video. Wash, roast. It's that simple.

[@CompanionAnimals2011]

Looks good!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Thank you so much Sarah!

[@Jesusmy733]

Hey Gabriel that would work with sweet potatoes to correct

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

yes, but I would cook them for 10-15 minutes less!

[@bananapatch9118]

Louisiana hot sauce is THE BEST !

I steam a load of pots in my instant pot for 10 mins then cut them like thiss then in my air fryer, chips (uk 😬) in half n hr

[@susannaball]

You washed the potatoes with baking soda and vinegar? The link to the recipe is no good

[@cantstoplion]

Heya Susanna, just fyi It's about 5 hours later & I clicked the link... it's good, so maybe it was corrected since you saw it. Peace

[@susannaball]

CantStopLion thanks

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

The wash was 1 tsp of ACV & baking soda, hope this helps :)

[@babylonviews7987]

were is bridgett????

[@stevefranpimblett8257]

Or you can do this in an air fryer from scratch and bypass the initial baking period. It takes about 30 minutes from go to whoa using an air fryer :)

[@TheAmazingJimmy]

I've never been able to cook them all the way through with an air fryer.

[@stevefranpimblett8257]

@@TheAmazingJimmy I have been living on a potato only diet for 2 months now and air fryer baked wedges have saved my life. I can pretend I am eating chips ;) if they aren't cooked through, just give them a bit longer. Maybe cut them thinner? I like big chunky "chips" so I cut them thick and give them an hour. Make sure to toss them well.

[@TheAmazingJimmy]

@@stevefranpimblett8257 doesnt matter how ya slice it, they always came out raw and if I left them in the fryer for too long they burn. Boiling them for a few minutes and then frying them works best for me. You should try making microwave potatoes chips (crisps if you're not american). Slice your potatoes on a mandoline, then I usually dip them in vinegar or you can season them how you want (go really light on the salt if you salt them) put a piece of parchment/wax paper directly on the turntable of the microwave and put a single layer of potato slices on it. Microwave for 3-5 minutes depending upon your wattage, then flip and microwave for the same amount of time on the other side, gotta watch them to make sure they dont burn. Healthier and cheaper than a bag of chips/crisps.

[@TheAmazingJimmy]

@@stevefranpimblett8257 how has your health been so far on the diet?

[@stevefranpimblett8257]

@@TheAmazingJimmy You must have a different air fryer to me or are maybe using different potatoes? I use King Edwards here in Tasmania Australia and they turn out perfectly. Sorry yours don't work :( The boiling tip is a good one :) YUM! Your microwave crisps sound seriously good. Thank you SO much for that idea as they are my very favourite snack food (well they were till I stopped eating oil ;) ) Awesome share right there :)

I've never understood whay salt is supposed to be so scary for people with heart problems.

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

there are a few reasons, but I can just say for myself I feel a bit better when I don't over do the salt.

[@carl13579]

The science is unclear. www.health.harvard.edu/blog/heart-failure-and-salt-the-great-debate-2018121815563

[@signeknudsen8513]

I think it is important to avoid all processed foods, most of which have added salt. If we do that, it is fine to add salt to the food we make ourselves. The quality of the salt we use is also important. I like Real Salt, mined in Utah. It has many nutrients the body needs and does not have added junk like anti-caking agents found in commercial salts like Morton's. As for iodine, it is available in organic vegetables so if we eat right we do not need to eat salt with added iodine.
