Janette's Oven-Baked French Fries with Homemade Ketchup

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1/4 cup finely minced red onion, chopped, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes, drained and squeezed dry
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
  • Pinch ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. To make the fries: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Peel the potatoes and cut into desired French-fry size. Place in a plastic bag along with the oil and shake until potatoes are evenly coated. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Put the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle with cayenne and black pepper.
  3. Bake, turning potatoes once, until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, to make the ketchup: Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. If you like it chunky serve as is. If you don't want the ketchup chunky, put ingredients into a food processor to puree.
  5. When the fries are done, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with the ketchup.
