How to Make Baked Lemon Fries
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Peel 2 pounds of potatoes and cut them into 3/8-inch thick slices. Cut the slices again into 3/8-inch thick fries.
- Place the potato fries in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Just before cooking, drain the water and thoroughly pat the potatoes dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving crispy fries.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer on two nonstick baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove from the oven and immediately add the zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 clove of minced garlic, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss gently to combine and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
