Chili-Spiced Home Fries

Recipe by Rebecca Dienner for The FruitGuys

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups potatoes (sweet or regular) well-scrubbed, and/or peeled kohlrabi bulb; cut into sticks about ⅓-inch wide by 2 inches long
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 4 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon dried peppers, finely chopped (optional)
• Chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt to taste

PREPARATION

• If using potatoes, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly tender, about 7 minutes.
• Drain well in a colander.
• Toss cooked potatoes and/or uncooked kohlrabi in a bowl with the flour to lightly coat.
• In a cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high (stir in dried peppers, if using), and fry sticks for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until browned.
• Once browned, dust the fries with spices and salt, and serve hot with ketchup or mustard.

Serves 4–6 as a side dish. Prep time, 8 minutes; cook time, 4–6 minutes.
