INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 russet or large yukon gold potatoes - about 1 pound
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt - to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

  1. For homemade fries from raw potatoes: Scrub, peel (if Russets), and cut Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes into ¼ to ⅜ inch strips for French fries. A mandoline in highly recommended.
  2. Soak in cool water for 15-20 minutes, rinse and dry completely with paper towels.
  3. Coat with vegetable oil or olive oil.
  4. Using a rack on a large tray, spread the fries into a single layer, and season to taste. If no rack, you may use parchment paper but will need to flip half way through cooking.
  5. Bake at 425° convection until golden brown—about 30 minutes. Season again while still hot if desired.
