Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large russet potato - scrubbed, rinsed, and dried
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice 1 large russet potato into thick strips: cut in half lengthwise, then into quarters, then into 2–4 strips per quarter.
- Place the strips on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the strips out in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Notes
- Cut Evenly: Uniform strips help the fries cook at the same rate.
- Peel or Don’t: I leave the skin on for texture and nutrients, but peeling is fine if you prefer.
- Give Them Space: Spread the fries out so they crisp instead of steam.
