Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 Russet potatoes
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp french fry seasoning optional
Instructions
- Slice potatoes into ½ inch slices. Place in a large bowl and cover with water. Let the potatoes soak for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and toss or shake with 1 Tbsp French Fry Seasoning.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss them around on the tray to make sure they are not sticking.
- Raise the oven temp to 420 degrees F. and cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until fries are slightly brown and crispy.
- Serve with ketchup or French Fry Sauce!
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes helps draw the starch out, stops them from sticking together, and all-in-all creates perfectly crisp fries.
- You do not have to peel the potatoes before slicing, however, you can peel them if that is how you prefer them.
- The two best types of potatoes for french fries are Russet and Yukon gold potatoes. Yukon gold will produce a soft yet crunchy fry and russet potatoes give more of a classic french fry taste. You may know Russet potatoes as Idaho or Yukon's as yellow. Do not use a waxy variety like fingerlings or red potatoes
