Ingredients
- 3 medium baking potatoes (Russets or Yukon Golds are nice)
- 1/4 cup oil (your choice - olive, canola, coconut, vegetable, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Note
For a spicier kick, you can add equal amounts (about a teaspoon) of garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano and thyme - or any combination of these - to the fries before baking.
Baking time will depend on the size you cut your potatoes, how full your baking sheet it and how brown and crispy you like your fries.
Directions
| Step 1 | Wash potatoes. Peel, if desired. Pat the potatoes dry and slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Turn each slice flat and slice again lengthwise into even fries, about 1/2-inch thick. Place cut potatoes in a bowl of cool water to prevent them from turning brown. Rinse cut potatoes several times to eliminate excess starch. Put the bowl of water and potatoes in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. |
| Step 2 | Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Drain the potatoes and spread them on a clean dish towel or paper towels and pat dry. Be sure to turn the potatoes to get them as dry as possible. |
| Step 3 | Place the potatoes back in the bowl and toss with oil and seasonings, then put them on a baking sheet in a single layer. |
| Step 4 | Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping/tossing after about 20 minutes. Serve immediately. |
