Klassische Fritten mit Thymian

Serves: 2
Preparation time: 35 min

Obviously there is no need to explain why I am posting this recipe. I mean, it’s about fries!… Simple, delicious & comforting fries that everybody is going to love.

For two servings or as a side dish for 4-6 people you will need:

• 1/2 kg potatoes
• one big yam
• olive oil
• fresh or dried thyme
• salt & pepper

 

1. Cut the potatoes and the yam into thin fries and put them in a big mixing bowl.
2. Cover with cold water and let soak for about an hour.
3. Rinse the fries in a sieve and dry them using a clean kitchen towel.
4. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
5. Spread the fries on a baking sheet using baking paper in between.
6. Drizzle with olive oil (about 4 tbsp) and season with thyme, salt & pepper.
7. Now bake the fries for about 10 minutes before you turn them and leave them in the oven for another 15-2o minutes.
8. Increase the heat to 200°C in the last 3-5 minutes. The fries should get this nice brown color but, of course, should net get burnt too much.

Enjoy!
