Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes unpeeled, rinsed well
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450 F
-
Cut the potatoes length-wise into sticks uniform in size as best you can.
-
Place the cut up potato sticks in a bowl with cold water for a few minutes and rinse out well.
-
Drain and dry with a clean hand-towel to take out extra moisture (this is very important!)
-
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl with the canola oil and salt and mix well so they are well coated.
-
Arrange the potato sticks in a single layer on a rack on top of a baking sheet and place in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Hi Catherine, Your husband invited us to visit your website at a Nutrition Congress I am currently attending in Cape Town. Beautiful story, beautiful recipe, sounds like something I would love. I hope to try it when I return to my country, Ghana. Do you think I could try it with sweet potatoes instead? Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you so much Rebecca for your kind words! Absolutely you can try it with sweet potatoes but you might have to adjust the baking time! let me know how it goes, I always love to hear! 🙂
Another lovely and delightful recipe!!! I love hoe the potatoes get so brown and crispy!! Good livin’ and good eatin’ 🙂
oops, I meant “how” not “hoe.” No potato hoes around here!!
Hahaha Sara, Thank you!!
What temperature should the oven be set at for the Baked French Fries.
Thank you and I love your site and story.
Kevin
Oh my goodness, Kevin, it was an oversight, thank you for pointing that out! The oven should be set to 450 F. Thank you for you your kind words!
