Ingredients

  • 4 potatoes (russet or gold)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp oil (avocado, canola or vegetable)
  • 2 tsp seasoned salt

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes clean with cool water or peel and rinse them. I prefer to leave the skin on. Slice potatoes long ways into 3-4 even sections, then cut each section into 4-5 fry sized pieces (depending on the size of the potato).
  • Place the cut potatoes in a bowl and cover with cool water. Add salt and swirl around a bit to distribute. Soak for at least 15 minutes. This helps to draw some of the starch and water from the potatoes so they crisp up.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450º F. Drain the water and dry potatoes with paper towels. Press down when drying to absorb as much moisture as possible. Place the potatoes in a clean, dry bowl and pour oil over them. Sprinkle the seasoned salt in and toss to coat.
  • Place potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (or line with parchment paper or a silicone mat). Don't overcrowd the pan. Use a second baking sheet if needed. Cook for 20 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and flip potatoes to the other side. Cook for 20-25 more minutes or until they reach desired crispiness. Sprinkle with a bit more seasoned salt and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feeling spicy? We love using cajun seasoned salt on just about anything.
  • Prefer more simple seasoning? Just use some salt and pepper and maybe a dash of paprika.
  • For the crispiest fries, use the nonstick spray and bake directly on baking sheet.
