Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 50 minutes mins
Rest Time 30 minutes mins
Total Time 1 hour hr 30 minutes mins
2 pounds russets peeled and cut ¼" thick sticks 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 ¼ teaspoons salt ½ teaspoon pepper
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Peel and cut the potatoes into ¼" thick sticks. Place in a bowl and cover with water. Place in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the water off of the potatoes. Pat dry and lay out on the parchment lined baking sheet. Toss with the oil, season with salt and pepper.
Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Stir and bake for another 20-30 minutes or until the fries are lightly browned and crispy. Enjoy!
