Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 F.

Place raw cut “fries” into a colander and rinse under cold water (to remove the starchy exterior of the potato). Then, pat “fries” dry with a towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

Place “fries” on to a sheet tray, drizzle with the oil and salt, and toss to coat.

Bake for 20 minutes, then toss and bake for an additional 10 minutes (for a total of 30 minutes).

Tips & Tricks (5)

Soak and Dry for Maximum Crispiness 💧
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry before oiling—this creates the crispiest exterior without greasiness.
Use High Heat and Preheat Your Pan 🔥
Preheat your baking sheet in a 425°F oven for 5 minutes before adding fries; this ensures immediate crisping and prevents soggy bottoms.
Cut Uniform Thickness for Even Cooking ✂️
Cut all fries to consistent thickness (¼-inch is ideal) so they cook evenly—uneven pieces will result in some burnt and some undercooked fries.
Toss Halfway Through Cooking 🔄
Flip and shake the fries halfway through baking to ensure all sides get equal exposure to heat for uniform golden-brown coloring.
Season Immediately While Hot 🧂
Season with kosher salt the moment fries come out of the oven when they're still steaming—the salt will adhere better and flavor will penetrate the surface.
