1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Begin by thoroughly washing the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. If you prefer a softer texture, peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler. Otherwise, you can leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
2
Cut into Fries
Cut the potatoes into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly. You can also cut them into wedges or any shape you prefer.

3
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
4
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the fries will cook quickly and achieve a nice golden color.
5
Dry and Season
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.
6
Add Seasoning
Sprinkle the sea salt and cracked black pepper over the oiled fries. Toss again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
7
Bake the Fries
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
8
Serve
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or snack, and enjoy!
