Main ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes Use starchy potatoes for the best texture.
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil This helps to achieve a crispy texture.
  • Salt To taste.
  • Optional seasonings Like paprika or garlic powder for added flavor.

Method

Preparation

  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if preferred, but keeping the skin adds extra texture and flavor.
  • Using a crinkle cutter, slice the potatoes into crinkle cuts. If you don’t have a crinkle cutter, you can cut them into regular fries.
