Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Place potatoes in a large bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let soak for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the oil onto a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet (preferably non-stick), tilt to evenly coat.
- Drain potatoes well then evenly spread out onto several layers of paper towels. Spread more paper towels over top and pat and press to dry thoroughly.
- Evenly sprinkle oiled baking sheet with 3/4 salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (if oil pooled in areas then tilt pan to spread even before salting).
- Spread potatoes into an even layer onto prepared baking sheet leaving space between them. Cover baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil. Bake 5 minutes, then remove foil and continue to bake until spotty golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Scrape potatoes loose from pan with a thin metal spatula then turn to opposite side. Spread even. Continue to bake until fries are golden, about 7 - 10 minutes longer. Spread potatoes on paper towels to drain. Season with additional salt if desired.
Notes
- Method adapted from Cook's Illustrated (I didn't leave peels on or cut into wedges).
