- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 - 3 tablespoons high-heat cooking oil**
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste
Instructions
1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
3: Wash and dry the potatoes.
4: Cut the potatoes into 1/4 inch matchsticks*.
5: In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with the oil and salt. Add additional seasonings if desired.
6: Arrange the potato strips in an uncrowded, single layer on the baking sheet.
7: Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, stirring around halfway through. Cook until golden brown and crispy.
8: Let cool a minute or so before serving. If desired, serve with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or a homemade sauce.
Notes
*To cut the potatoes into matchsticks:
1: Slice a thin piece off one side of the potato to create a flat surface.
2: Place the cut side down and cut the potato into thick slices about 1/4 inch wide.
3: Stack a few slices on top of each other. Slice through the stacks to create long, thick strips resembling matchsticks. Aim for consistent thickness.
Thicker fries will take longer to cook. The Skinnier one will cook faster.
**Choose an oil that can take a high heat, like grapeseed, canola, peanut, or avocado oil.
You can add additional seasonings, such as garlic powder, garlic granules, pepper, paprika, chili powder, or more.
No need to peel the potatoes unless you want to.
1 large russet potato is about 8—10 ounces.
