Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to a high temperature of 500°F (260°C). This ensures that the fries will get a nice, crisp texture.
Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the russet potatoes if desired. For a rustic touch, you can leave the skins on. Slice each potato lengthwise into 1/3-inch thick slices. Then, cut these slices into 1/3-inch wide sticks to create uniform fries.
Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato sticks with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to ensure that each stick is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on a large shallow baking pan. This will allow them to cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake the Fries: Place the baking pan in the lower third of the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then use a metal spatula to loosen the fries from the bottom of the pan. Turn the fries over and spread them out again in a single layer.
Continue Baking: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fries are crisp and golden brown on the edges.
Serve Hot: Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a delicious main dish like the Crispy Oven-Fried Cod.

Enjoy these perfectly roasted fries as a delightful side that complements your meals effortlessly! 🍟🌟
