Method

Potato Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Potatoes

    Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, but leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients.

  2. 2

    Cut into Fries

    Cut each potato into long, thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble fries. Try to keep them as uniform as possible for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help achieve a crispier texture.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while the fries are soaking.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure they cook evenly.

  7. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 8

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, mayonnaise, honey, and mustard. Stir until well blended.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with the dipping sauce on the side for kids to enjoy!
