- 4 Russet Potatoes large russets or Yukon Gold potatoes
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil

Prep and Soak the Potatoes
Slice the Potatoes: Rinse and dry each potato thoroughly. Then using a crinkle cutter, cut potatoes into "fries" Cut into thin, even slices, then lay flat and cut into fries. A crinkle cutter, is needed to create the signature crinkle shape.
Soak for Crispiness: Place the crinkle-cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water with ice cubes and sea salt. Let soak for 20 minutes.
Dry the Potatoes: Drain the water, pat the potatoes completely dry, and let them sit on paper towels for 30 minutes to an hour to completely dry out. This step ensures maximum crispiness. You can shortcut it if in a hurry, but may not get as crisp of results.
Bake the Fries
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil and your seasoning mixture until fully coated.
Bake to Perfection: Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden and crispy.
Or Air Fry the Fries
Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
Place fries in the air fryer basket, leaving space between so they can get crisp, you will have to cook in batches.
Air fry for 20 minutes, shake air fryer or flip fries half way through cook time.
