Karina's Easy, Crispy Potato Sticks with Roasted Tomato Salsa Recipe

Recipe posted January 2006.

For those avoiding corn and jonesing for chips and salsa, these crispy potato sticks are a goddess-send. Roasting thin strips of potatoes in a hot oven creates a crisp and flavorful fry. You can also serve them classic style, with sea salt. Offer a drizzle of apple cider vinegar or ketchup.

 Ingredients:

 1 Russet or Idaho baking potato per person
Safflower oil, or other high-heat stable oil such as Canola

To serve:

Old Bay Seasoning, or chili powder, if desired
Sea salt
Roasted Tomato Salsa- recipe below.
Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment (this helps the potatoes get crispy).

Scrub and rinse the potatoes; dry them off and quarter them; halve again and slice into long thin matchsticks.

Toss the potato sticks into a bowl. Drizzle with just enough oil to coat; season and toss well.

Spread the potato sticks on the parchment lined baking sheet(s) in a single layer. Place in the upper third of the oven and bake for ten minutes.

Using a thin flexible spatula, turn the sticks over and return them to the oven for another ten minutes or so until the potatoes are golden and sizzling on the outside, yet still tender in the center.


Drain the potato sticks briefly on a paper towel; sprinkle with sea salt.



Serve immediately with a side of homemade Roasted Tomato Salsa (recipe follows). Other dipping options include: Muir Glen Ketchup or your favorite Ranch-style dip.

Gluten-Free Goddess Zucchini Bread

Got Zukes Galore? Sharing a favorite summer recipe here on Gluten-Free Goddess-- a cinnamon laced tea bread made with garden fresh zucchini. You'll love it. And so will everyone else. I also jotted down some batter and baking tips for ya. See below. GFG Tips on gluten-free bread baking: Here's my all-time favorite baking pan for gluten-free breads. It's a lovely glazed ceramic pan that creates steady, even heating for gluten-free batters. In other words, it's as foolproof as you can get. Find it here at Amazon:  Good Cook 9-Inch Ceramic Loaf Pan . Make sure your batter isn't cold when you put it into the oven. If you keep your flours in the fridge, for instance, this will cool down your batter quite a bit. If you find your batter is cooler than room temperature, allow the batter to rest in the pan near the pre-heating stove and let it come to room temperature before you place the bread pan in the oven to bake (I also do this with cakes sometimes). The first time

Coconut Milk Ice Cream Berry Parfaits

Parfait this! Easy fancy for a long hot summer- so bookmark this one... a simple, creamy coconut ice cream recipe served parfait style with blueberries and strawberries. And it's naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. And because you make it yourself, gum-free and carrageenan-free. So many yays. It was sunny and hot yesterday, and today is a repeat.
