- 2 russet potatoes skins on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
Scrub the potatoes and pat them dry. Slice into 3/8-inch thick French fries by first slicing potatoes into 3/8-inch thick slices and then cutting each slice into 3/8-inch thick fries.
Place the fries into a bowl, fill with cold water to cover the fries, and let soak for 15 minutes.*
Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the fries out of the water and dry them very well with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to evenly coat the potatoes with the oil and salt.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the pan with a bit of room in between each French fry. This helps them to crisp up as they cook.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- If you are short on time, you can skip the soaking step. The fries will be slightly less crispy but still very delicious.
