French fries have millions of fans all over the world. Earlier, when chain fast food restaurants were not yet as developed as they are now, "Free" loved to cook at home. But lately, housewives have fried such potatoes less and less, despite the fact that love for them has not ended. Due to the fact that this dish is considered very high in calories and requires a large amount of oil, it has become not a frequent guest on our tables. But if you are still a loyal Free fan, you don't have to take away the fun by giving up on it. You can learn how to make it in the oven. Oil for this method requires nothing at all, and the taste will remain almost the same.
It is necessary
- - potatoes - 1 kg (7-8 pcs.);;
- - chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
- - salt;
- - red bell pepper;
- - sunflower oil - 1 tbsp. l.;

Step 1
Peel the potatoes and rinse under running water to wash off all contamination. After that, cut it into thin strips no more than 1 cm thick. After that, fold the entire workpiece into a bowl filled with cold water and leave for 30 minutes to get rid of excess starch.
Step 2
When the time is up, drain the water from the bowl, and dry the potato straws properly with a kitchen or paper towel - it should be completely dry. Then pour it into the bowl.
Step 3
Gently break the chicken eggs, separating the whites from the yolks. The yolks can be refrigerated and used later in cooking, for example, to grease baked goods with them. And pour the proteins into a clean dry dish and beat until light peaks with a mixer or blender with a whisk attachment.
Step 4
Now combine the whipped whites with the potatoes and mix thoroughly so that each straw remains covered. As soon as the preparatory work is over, turn on the oven and set the temperature to 200 degrees.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with sunflower oil. Arrange the whole potatoes so that you get one layer. If desired, sprinkle with red bell pepper immediately.
Step 6
Once the oven has warmed up, place the baking sheet in and bake the "Fries" until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Pour the finished dish into a bowl, salt, stir and serve as a side dish or just like that with your favorite sauce. Even children can be given such potatoes without fear.
