Cilantro Fries

Hello my rabbit friends- Here is a fun, summery side for all those BBQ evenings or even just a late night snack. Everyone loves potatoes. They are so versatile and wonderful. I like fries just as much as the next person, but I'm not a fan of the deep-frying aspect, so I bake instead! This version of fries comes as quilt-free as they can. There is still oil, but it isn't overwhelming. The addition of cilantro to kick-up these potatoes give them a nice, fresh and light yet full flavour boost. Here it goes:

Cilantro Fries

Ingredients:

2-3 Russet potatoes
1 tbsp fresh cilantro (cilantro paste would work as well)
3/4 tbsp grapeseed oil or sunflower oil
salt & pepper to taste (I like using pink himalayan rock salt and fresh cracked black pepper)

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a baking pan toss in the cut potatoes, cilantro, oil, salt & pepper until potatoes are well coated.
3. Spread the potatoes out evenly across the pan, ensuring none of them are over top of each other.
4. Put the fries in the oven and let bake for 12 minutes.
5. Take out, let cool and serve. I really like dipping them in hot sauce. The freshness of the cilantro and kick of the hot sauce compliment each other very well.

Stay kickin, potato lovers.
