Garlic and Cumin-Seasoned Fries with Chipotle Ketchup
7:30 AM
Alongside our plates of French Dip sandwiches tonight we had some fries that were out of this world. I've never had much success making homemade fries because they always just taste...blah to me. That, and I normally always burn half of the pan while the other half stays raw. When I saw the below recipe on Cookinglight.com, it sounded like a winner. Again, my limited commissary had me scrounging for alternatives since I could not find chipotle chile powder anywhere. I opted for ancho chile powder since that seemed to be the closest fit. I'm not very familiar with either chiles, so I'm not sure how big of a taste difference it would be. I also used less of the chile powder than suggested since it was a bit spicy, and 66% of the current household can't hold their own with heat. The "chipotle," or more accurately, "ancho" ketchup, was very good. It had nice tang to it from the lime juice and the chile powder added a great dimension of heat and smokiness as well.
