How to Make Fried Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel 2 pounds of russet potatoes. Cut into 2 1/2-inch long by 1/4-inch thick strips.
- Soak the potatoes in ice water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and rinse under cold water.
- Pat the potatoes completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness!
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/4 cup melted margarine (or olive oil) and 1 teaspoon of your favorite herbs (rosemary, thyme, or a blend).
- Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, gently toss and turn the potatoes.
- Bake for another 5 minutes.
- Add another 1/2 teaspoon of herbs (optional) and toss again.
- Bake for a final 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
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.
