Oven Baked Fries with Mayo Sauce

We love fries in our house! And, these fries are so crunchy on the outside with a soft interior, you almost cannot believe they are baked and not deep fried! The secret is soaking them in a salted ice bath first to release excess starch, while also seasoning the inside before baking. The dill mayo sauce is cool and refreshing and a great contrast to the hot crunchy fries! What you will need: FRIES:3 tbsp kosher salt 2 pounds russet potatoes, cut into wedges 3 tbsp canola oil 1 tbsp paprika ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder Ground black pepper MAYO: ½ cup mayonnaise4 tsp Dijon or whole grain mustard 3 tbsp dried dill Salt and ground black pepper  Directions: FRIES: Stir salt into a large bowl of cold water until dissolved, then add 1 cup ice cubes. Submerge the potato wedges and soak for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Toss the potatoes in oil in a bowl; then sprinkle with the salt, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder and toss again. Bake, tossing halfway through, until browned, about 1 hour.  MAYO: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard and dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the fries.  Enjoy!
