Chef’s Tips
- Cut your potato sticks evenly (about 1/4 inch thick) so they cook at the same rate. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline for consistency.
- If you have got an air fryer and want to keep the fries light. Air-fry the sticks at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through, for crispy results.
- Toss the potato sticks in a little oil, and spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. This method can still yield crispy results without frying.
