Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon Thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes.
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick sticks.
Soak the potato sticks in cold water for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch and help them crisp.
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Toss the potato sticks with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegan gravy. In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Add the tamari or soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, thyme, and black pepper to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens, stirring occasionally.
Remove the baked fries from the oven and sprinkle with additional salt if needed.
Serve the French fries hot, with a generous ladle of vegan gravy poured over the top.
