Method
Basket of Fries
- 1
Prep and cut potatoes
Scrub 4 russet potatoes; peel if desired; cut into evenly sized fries about 1/4 inch thick; rinse and pat dry.
- 2
Soak to reduce starch
Place cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch; drain and pat completely dry.
- 3
Coat and season
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 3 tablespoons oil until evenly coated. Add cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper; toss until all fries are well coated and any clumps are broken up.
- 4
Arrange for baking
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Spread fries in a single layer, not touching, to ensure crispness.
- 5
Bake and flip
Bake for 20-25 minutes, then flip fries and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are tender. If using a convection oven, reduce time by ~5 minutes.
- 6
Finish and serve
Remove fries from the oven, season with a touch more salt if desired, and serve hot with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
