Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 1 Tbs seasoned salt
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes clean, peel them if desired. Fill a large bowl with cold water, about halfway. Cut the potatoes into ¼ inch slices, then cut them into ¼ inch fries, lengthwise. Place the cut potatoes into the water.
- Drain the water off the potatoes, fill with water again and rinse until no more starch comes off the potatoes. Place them onto a paper towel-lined sheet tray and blot them dry with more paper towels.
- Place the dry potatoes onto a large sheet tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Add the seasoned salt and toss the potatoes to coat in the oil and seasoning. Try and lay them in a single layer as best you can.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flip them halfway through. Place the oven on to 450°F and continue to bake, flipping every 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside. This will take about 30 additional minutes.
- Taste and season with more seasoned salt if needed and a garnish of optional parsley.
Notes
- We find that Russet Potatoes are the best French fry making potatoes.
- You can use your own spice mixture on these.
- Top with a little parmesan cheese for a nice garnish.
- You can double this recipe if you have a larger family or are serving more people.
- You have to soak these before they bake, otherwise they will not get crisp.
