Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to resemble fries.
Place the potato strips in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the fries evenly.
Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not too crowded to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan, bring the low-sodium broth to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering broth, ensuring no lumps form.
Add soy sauce and onion powder to the gravy, continuing to whisk until it thickens to your desired consistency. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more broth to thin it out.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve the crispy low-fat French fries hot, with the rich gravy on the side or drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
