Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into the preparation! First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Start by cutting your russet potatoes into fries. I like to soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This step really helps in achieving that crispiness we all love. After soaking, drain and pat them dry with a towel. Then, toss your fries in olive oil, ensuring they’re all evenly coated before spreading them out on a baking sheet. Once that’s done, pop them in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
