I N G R E D I E N T S

  • 3 medium Russet potatoes, scrubbed

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • Kosher salt

W H A T T O D O

  1. Heat oven to 450°.

  2. Slice potatoes into 3/4” spears.

  3. Place in large pot and cover with an inch-ish of water; set to high and turn off after 10 minutes (keep watch, want them super al dente and not going mush).

  4. Meanwhile, coat a large baking sheet with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil and place it in the oven for a few minutes to get the oil real hot; remove.

  5. Put drained potatoes on the hot pan, cover in 1 tbsp oil and sprinkle with salt; place back in oven for 20 minutes.

  6. Remove and toss around for even browning; place back in for 5 minutes, repeating as necessary for desired crispiness and color.

  7. Remove and season with more salt.
