Ingredients for Baked Potato Sticks

  • Baking Potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter (or bacon grease)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper

How to Make Baked Potato Sticks

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub 2 pounds of russet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch thick sticks.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter (or bacon grease) in a 9x12 inch ovenproof baking dish in the preheated oven.
  4. Add the potato sticks to the baking dish and toss gently to coat them evenly with the melted butter.
  5. Arrange the potato sticks cut-side down in a single layer. Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
