Description
Perfectly crispy homemade fries– soft and tender on the inside and crisp and salty on the outside! These fries are easy, minimal prep and oven roasted!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3-5 large Russet potatoes, washed and peeled
- 2-3 tablespoons ghee
- granulated garlic
- paprika
- kosher salt for finishing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Drop 2-3 rounded tablespoons of ghee on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place the sheet in the oven to heat and melt the ghee.
- Slice the potatoes into thin fries, taking care to make sure the fries are all close in size. (About 3/8″ wide is ideal).
- Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and tilt it so the ghee coats the entire pan. Carefully lay the fries out on the pan in a flat, even layer– they should all be touching the pan and not be overcrowded. Season the fries with the granulated garlic and paprika. (No salt yet).
- Place the pan of fries in the oven and let them roast for about 20 minutes without stirring, until the bottoms of the fries have developed a crisp layer. Once the bottoms are crispy, remove the pan from the oven to toss/flip the fries so the crispy layer is now on top. Return the pan to the oven and finish roasting the fries for another 10-15 minutes, according to your desired doneness.
- Generously season the fries with kosher salt once you have removed them from the oven while the fries are still hot.
