Homemade Wedge Fries

Home Made Seasoned French Fries:

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees
  • Cover a large pan with tin foil. Spray with cooking oil and lightly sprinkle on salt
  • Cut 5 organic potatoes in to wedge or steak fries
  • Let the wedges soak in salted water for 30 minutes to release some of the starch and allow the fries to crisp up in the over.
  • After 30 minutes, dry the potatoes thoroughly. If the potatoes aren’t completely dry, the moisture will make them steam in the oven
  • Lay the fries on the foil and lightly brush the wedges with olive oil
  • Sprinkle on a touch of your favorite seasoning. We recommend a mixed Italian or Cajun/creole seasoning.
  • Pop the homemade fries in the oven for 15-20 minutes for softer fries and 25-30 minutes for crispier fries.

Deviled Eggs

Devilishly Excellent Smoky Deviled Eggs:

  • Hard boil 1 dozen eggs
  • Drain and cool eggs under cold running water or in a bowl of ice water. Peel the eggs.
  • Halve the eggs lengthwise and place the yolks in a food processor.
  • Add ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche and 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and process until smooth.
  • Transfer to a bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons finely chopped cornichons, 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion.
  • Season with salt, ground black pepper and ground white pepper
  • Fill the egg halves with the yolk mixture.
  • Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of Spanish pimentón and serve chilled
