It’s Super Bowl Sunday, you’re cheering for your favorite team (or your team isn’t playing, and you’re only there for the commercials), and you need some game-time snacks. Don’t fret, we’ve got three mouthwatering Splendid Meal Hacks to fuel your football Sunday!
Splendid Spoon Tomato Quinoa Chili Cheese Fries
Recipe Creator: @themichellenorwood
Ingredients
1 serving of Splendid Spoon Tomato Quinoa Chili
4 large baking potatoes
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon salt, pepper and/or garlic powder
Vegan Sour Cream, to taste
Cashew Queso, to taste
Green Onions, to taste
Jalapeno, optional
Directions:
SOAK: Cut the fries into desired shape, then soak the potatoes in cold water after for at least 30 minutes. This step removes a lot of starch (you will see it in the bowl after you remove them) resulting in a crispier french fry.
DRY: This is really important. Make sure you dry them well so they don’t steam and get soft when they bake! I spin them in my salad spinner and then dap in a kitchen towel.
SEASON: Use parchment paper to keep them from sticking and oil to make them crisp! While these are a version of healthy fries, if you want them too crisp, you will still need to be generous with the oil.
TWO TEMP COOKING: This easy technique allows the fries to bake perfectly crispy. Simply bake at 375°F for a little bit to cook and then turn up the heat to really crisp them up!
To achieve maximum crispiness in your homemade French fries, I do a 2 temperature cook:
1. Be sure to preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Dry the fries thoroughly after soaking and before seasoning.
3. Generously oil and season the oven fries. Spread evenly in a single layer on a parchment-lined pan.
4. Cook 20 minutes (25 for thicker fries).
5. Turn the heat up to 425°F and continue baking until crisp, about 20 minutes.
6. Add toppings and enjoy.
