Ingredients

Fries:

4 russet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Ketchup:

6 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/4 cup finely minced red onion, chopped, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes, drained and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
Pinch ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

To make the fries: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel the potatoes and cut into desired French-fry size. Place in a plastic bag along with the oil and shake until potatoes are evenly coated. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Put the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle with cayenne and black pepper.

Bake, turning potatoes once, until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make the ketchup: Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. If you like it chunky serve as is. If you don't want the ketchup chunky, put ingredients into a food processor to puree.

When the fries are done, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with the ketchup.
