Description
Crispy Oil Free Fries that are baked and not fried with only 2 ingredients: russet potatoes + sea salt. The trick to the perfect fry with a crunchy, golden brown exterior and a soft interior lies in how you prepare and bake the fries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 russet potatoes
- sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F/230C.
- Wash and scrub potatoes. Remove any rough or hard bits from the potatoes.
- Fill a large bowl with cold water.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Cut each potato half into four slices. Place the sliced potatoes in the water to keep them from browning.
- Using a clean dish towel or paper towels, dry the fries off fully before placing them on the baking sheet.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer on a pizza stone, stone baking sheet (the stone will make sure the potatoes get extra crispy), or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the fries are about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) apart on the baking sheet. If the fries are too close, they will steam and not get as crispy.
- Sprinkle the fries with sea salt. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until the fries are crispy and golden brown. Flip the fries halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Toss with additional sea salt when the fries are fresh out of the oven. Enjoy!
