easy homemade baked french fries will become a family favorite!
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 russet potatoes, cut into strips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
Instructions
- Place the cut russet potatoes in a bowl with cold water and ice to cover the potatoes. Leave for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the bowl and place on a towel to dry out. Pat dry.
- On a baking sheet, put a single layer of dry, cut potatoes.
- Drizzle with oil and stir to coat.
- If necessary, use another cookie sheet for remaining potatoes. (usually I have 2 cookie sheets going at the same time)
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, flip and stir.
- Turn the oven up to 450 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Notes
If the fries aren't getting as crispy as you like, turn the broiler on and broil for a couple of minutes. Watch carefully!
These are delicious with Parmesan cheese and herbs!
