Equipment

  • Vegetable Brush
  • Chef's Knife
  • Parchment Paper
  • Sheet Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 count russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Wash potatoes and slice into evenly cut matchstick shapes.
    I like to leave the skin on for extra fiber, but you can peel the skin if you prefer.
  • Add potatoes to a large bowl and cover with room temperature water. Drain, and then add more water and let soak for about 20 minutes to remove the starch.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Drain and completely dry your potatoes, then toss with the vegetable oil.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and a little cooking spray.
  • Add the potatoes to the baking sheet, leaving some room in between each fry.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, then turn the oven up to 425°F and continue baking another 15-25 minutes until fries are crispy and done through.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips & Tricks:
Make sure you cut the potatoes into even sizes for a better, more even cook.
Use a large sheet pan to ensure your fries have room to breathe. If you make these with a crowded pan, you will need to shuffle the fries about 30 minutes into baking.
