Ingredients
- 2 medium baking potatoes, scrubbed (leave peels on if preferred)
- 2 tsp. melted butter or olive oil
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Using a sharp knife, cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut slices into fry-shaped sticks.
Pour melted butter or oil into medium bowl. Add potato sticks and toss to coat. Spread on baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, then turn potatoes and bake until crisp, about 30 minutes. While still warm, season with salt and pepper and serve.
