Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  4. 4

    Season the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your lemon pepper fries!
