Makes: 4 Servings
Calories: 150 kcal
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (455 g) russet potatoes (about 2 medium sized; see headnote above)
- 2 tablespoons oil canola, olive oil, or even garlic-infused
- Kosher salt
Preparation:
-
Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. Line two rimmed baking sheet pans (commercial grade half-sheet pans) with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
-
Peel potatoes and cut into 3/8 inch (1 cm) slabs lengthwise, then stack a few slabs at a time and cut into classic French fry shapes 3/8 inch (1 cm) wide. Place potatoes in bowl, drizzle with oil and toss to coat well. Sprinkle lightly with salt (you can add more after, if you like) and toss again to coat evenly.
-
Scatter the fries on both pans, spacing evenly so that none are touching one another; don’t get lazy here or you will end up with flaccid fries. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bottoms of the fries are golden, then flip fries over and continue to bake for about 12 to 15 minutes more or until fries are golden brown on both sides and crispy. Serve immediately with extra salt, ketchup or check out our variations.

Tips
- We love potatoes of all kinds and they have not shown any detectable FODMAPs in lab testing, so we know we can enjoy them. For this recipe please stick with the starchy Russet potatoes for best results.
