Recipe View 30 mins Continue baking and flipping until potatoes are well browned, about 30 minutes. Potatoes should be crispy around the edges but soft in the center.

For extra crispy fries, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices, such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or rosemary, to customize the flavor profile.
Ensure the potatoes are evenly spaced on the baking sheet to promote even browning. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

    I used smoked paprika instead of cayenne, and it gave a wonderful smoky flavor.

    Perfectly crispy! Thanks for the great recipe.

    My potatoes stuck to the parchment paper. Next time, I'll try using more oil.
