Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Peel the Potatoes

    Begin by thoroughly washing the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. If desired, peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler for a smoother texture.

  2. 2

    Crinkle Cut the Potatoes

    Using a crinkle cut knife, slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick fries. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Soak the Fries

    Place the crinkle-cut fries in a large bowl of cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.

  2. 4

    Drain and Dry

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  3. 5

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, combine the dried fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.

  4. 6

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). 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 they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve the crinkle-cut fries hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce.
