Pro tip: Be sure to slice evenly for a consistent cooking time for all pieces.
Ingredients:
Potatoes: Can use baking potatoes, such as russet or Idaho (not waxy), or sweet potatoes.
Cooking oil: Can use truffle oil for white potatoes, or for sweet potatoes, use macadamia or coconut oil.
Optional seasonings: Ground black pepper, dried oregano (for white potatoes).
Instructions:
Peel and slice potatoes into uniform strips (narrow for extra crispy, wide for Texas-style).
Place in cool water for 10-15 minutes.
Drain, rinse, and dry well (wet potatoes will not have “fried” texture).
In a large bowl, add the potatoes and, while shaking the bowl with one hand, drizzle 1-2 tablespoons olive oil over the potatoes until they are coated.
Place on sprayed cookie sheet in a 375ºF oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, then flip potatoes and continue baking until cooked through and crispy.
