A humble potato can easily make a whole satisfying dish or a snack. With only a handful of ingredients these fries are perfect when you’re too lazy to cook, but want to indulge a bit. Since you only need a few things to whip these up, choose your ingredients with care. I used new potatoes, pink sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Each of those makes a small but noticeable difference. For the fat my favorite choices are either pork lard or coconut oil, which is an awesome vegan substitute.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 1 serving / 0.45 EUR)

3 big new potatoes (0.40 EUR)

1 tbsp pork lard (0.02 EUR)

Good pinch of pink sea salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR)

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Wash the potatoes under cold running water and scrub any dirt off the skins. Cut the potatoes with skins intact into fries and toss with lard (or the same amount of coconut oil), salt and pepper. Spread on a prepared tray, making sure that the potatoes don’t touch. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes in the middle of the oven, until crispy and golden brown. Serve immediately.

Skromni krumpiri lako mogu biti cijeli ukusnan obrok ili snack. Sa samo nekoliko sastojaka ovi su krumpirići savršeni kada ste lijeni kuhati, a želite se malo počastiti. Pošto vam za krumpiriće treba samo par sastojaka, izaberite ih promišljeno. Ja sam upotrijebila fine mlade krumpire, himalajsku rozu sol i svježe mljeveni crni papar. Svaki od sastojaka radi malu, ali ipak zamjetnu razliku. Za masnoću moji su omiljeni izbori ili svinjska mast ili kokosovo ulje koje je fantastični veganski substitut.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 1 porciju / 3,50kn)

3 veća mlada krumpira (3,00 kn)

1 žlica svinjske masti (0,15 kn)

Dobar prstohvat himalajske soli (0,10 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,25 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C i obložite protvan papirom za pečenje. Dobro operite krumpire pod tekućom vodom pazeći da na njima ne ostane ništa zemlje. Krumpire skupa sa ljuskom izrežite u pommes frites i pomiješajte sa masti (ili jednakom količinom kokosovog ulja), solju i paprom. Raširite krumpiriće po pripremljenom protvanu tako da se međusobno ne dodiruju. Pecite 45 do 60 minuta u sredini pećnice, dok krumpirići ne budu hrskavi i zlatno-smeđi. Poslužite odmah.
