- Immediately toss with the salt. Serve fresh with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
- Peeling the potatoes: I usually do not peel the potatoes - they taste great with the skin on and it adds prep time to the recipe BUT you absolutely can peel them if you prefer.
- Extra crispy: be sure to arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, not overlapping and not touching as much as possible.
- Fry Sauce: Utah is famous for this sauce. Combine equal parts ketchup and mayo.
- Honey Mustard: whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup dijon mustard. Add salt to taste.
- Garlic Aioli: grab my easy garlic aioli recipe here!
