Ingredients

  • 3 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch fries (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of hot water and soak for 10 minutes. Drain, pat dry (see note in post), and set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, and salt. Toss well to ensure the fries are coated evenly.
  • Pour the prepared potatoes onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 23 minutes, and then flip the potatoes and rotate the pan. Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, checking to make sure they do not burn.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool a little, and then serve with ketchup.
