“Battered” Crunchy Baked Fries are super easy to prep, and come out of the oven perfectly crispy and browned! They’re egg free and dairy free, and almost taste like they have a light batter (although they are not actually battered), with a similar texture to Brew City fries.

Ingredients
4-5medium potatoes
1Tbspoive oil
8Ritz crackers(may use another brand, or GF crackers to suit your dietary needs)
1Tbspcornstarch
¼tspChili powder
⅛tspGarlic powder
⅛tspOnion powder
½tspsalt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F. Grease 1-2 baking sheets (depending on size).
Peel and wash potatoes. Pat dry, and cut into ¼-inch thick strips.
Finely crush your Ritz crackers in a small bowl (a food processor works very well, otherwise you can use the back of a fork). Stir in cornstarch, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until combined.
Add sliced potatoes to large bowl and toss with the olive oil. Add half the cracker mix and toss. Add remaining mix, and toss again.
Arrange fries in a single layer on greased baking sheet.
Bake at 425F for 15 minutes or until bottoms are crisp and golden brown. Flip, and bake additional 10-15 minutes. For extra crispiness, broil on high for 1-2 minutes.
Notes
To make gluten free, substitute your favorite GF buttery style crackers in place of the Ritz.Optional: Add 1-2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese to cracker mix before tossing for a Parmesan twist!
