In my household, we eat a fair number of potatoes. However, we do find that we end up with a few potatoes that need to be devoured sooner rather than later. Just the other day I was bored and pulled out this mandolin contraption that my hubby purchased and thought, "why not?" Most of us admit to wanting to indulge in a heaping helping of french fries, but the guilt, The Guilt!
Using a mandolin can give you beautifully (and quickly) sliced fries. And roasting them will give you french fries without the guilt. Because I like spices, my Roasted Slap Fries have a few spices mixed in. Of course all of our tastebuds vary so feel free to add more or less or omit altogether any spice or herb listed. In addition, to add the guilt back, I dip these fries in my homemade Srirachannaise sauce: Sriracha hot chili sauce + mayonnaise. Enjoy!

HOW: Roughly sliced potatoes are generously coated in spices before baking into crisp, hard-to-resist fries.

Directions
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Step 2
Using a mandolin, slice the potatoes into long, thin rectangular pieces to mimic the standard fries shape. If you do not have a mandolin then using a knife to cut the potato into long rectangular pieces.
- Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, add the raw potato pieces, all the spices, salt and 4 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix well so that the potato pieces are fully covered by the spices.
- Step 4
Grease a large baking sheet olive oil to help keep the potato pieces from sticking while cooking. Pour the contents from the mixing bowl onto the baking sheet and spread out the pieces for an even heating.
- Step 5
Cook for 35 minutes. Be sure to move and rotate the potatoes with a spatula every 10 minutes to avoid too much sticking and burning. Cook for less or more time depending on how crunchy you prefer your fries.
- Step 6
To prepare the Srirachannaise, in a small bowl, combine the Sriracha sauce and mayonnaise. Mix until well blended. Add more or less of the ingredients to suit your taste.
- Step 7
When the fries are ready, sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt, if desired, and eat immediately. Serve with Srirachannaise, ketchup or nothing at all.
