Homemade Fries
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler and then cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, using a chef's knife. Spread the cut fries on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato sticks with oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and paprika, then toss again to distribute the seasoning thoroughly.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overlapping to promote even cooking. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven once the fries are crispy and golden, with visible browning on the edges. Gently shake or flip the fries to check for even crispness and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve the homemade fries hot on a plate, optionally garnished with additional salt or seasoning. Observe the crispy exterior and fluffy interior, with an appealing golden color and aromatic smell.
