Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 to 2¼ pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (unpeeled)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon fine ground sea salt (or to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Generously coat a well-seasoned large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Wash and scrub the potatoes and dry them with paper towels.
  • Slice the potatoes in ½-inch slices and then cut them into matchsticks no more than ¼- to ½-inch thick. Place the sliced potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and toss to coat the potatoes.
  • Pour the oil-coated potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading out into an even layer. Bake for about 20 minutes, then using a spatula, carefully toss the potatoes, spreading them back into a single layer when done. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, mixing once or twice more to ensure even browning. Remove the fries from the oven when crisped to your liking.
  • Sprinkle with salt to taste and serve.
