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 for Crispiness 💧
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before patting dry—this removes excess starch and creates irresistibly crispy edges.
Oil Distribution is Key 🛢️
Toss potatoes in oil using your hands or a large bowl to ensure every piece is evenly coated, preventing some from sticking or browning unevenly.
Preheat Your Baking Sheet 🔥
Heat your oiled baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes before adding potatoes—the hot surface creates an immediate golden crust and superior crispiness.
Space Matters for Steam Escape 🌬️
Arrange fries in a single layer without crowding; overcrowding traps steam and results in soft fries instead of crispy ones.
Season Immediately After Baking 🧂
Salt your fries while they're still hot from the oven so the kosher salt adheres perfectly and seasons every bite thoroughly.
