Ingredients

2 pound Large baking potatoes
1 teaspoon Olive oil or vegetable oil
1 large Garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Coarsely ground black pepper

2
Line a jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil and generously spray the foil with vegetable cooking spray.
3
Scrub the potatoes clean. Cut each potato lengthwise into 1/2-inch wide slices, then cut each slice into 1/2-inch wide strips.
4
Place the potato strips in the prepared pan. Drizzle with oil and add minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
5
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, tossing the fries once or twice during cooking, until they are crisp and golden brown.

Note

For sweet potatoes: Prepare 2 pounds of sweet potatoes using the same method, but bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once, as they cook slightly faster and caramelize quickly.

To ensure crispiness, make sure the fries are not overcrowded on the pan. Use two pans if necessary.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer to restore crispiness; microwaving will make them soggy.
