Notes
- There are
- in one serving of this.
- Opt for russet potatoes for a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
- Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries so don’t skip this step!
- After soaking, pat the potato sticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them crisp up in the oven and keep them from steaming.
- Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between each fry. Crowding the pan can cause them to steam instead of crisp up.
- Pay attention to the temperature increase listed in the recipe. This final increase helps the fries to crisp up.
- Store - Keep in an airtight storage container for 2-3 days in the fridge.
