Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 3 russet potatoes, peeled
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon shichimi togarashi seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F to ensure a hot environment for perfectly crispy fries.
- Prepare Potatoes: Cut off the ends of the peeled potatoes and slice them into matchstick-sized pieces for even baking.
- Season Potatoes: Toss the potato sticks with canola oil, half of the shichimi togarashi seasoning, and kosher salt to coat evenly.
- Bake Fries: Arrange the fries on a sheet pan with a rack or parchment paper and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Add Final Seasoning: While the fries are cooling slightly, sprinkle the remaining shichimi togarashi seasoning over them for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve: Serve the fries hot with your choice of spicy mayo or other preferred condiments for dipping.
Notes
- Using a rack on the baking sheet helps fries cook evenly and get crispier by allowing air circulation.
- For extra crispiness, soak potato sticks in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly.
- Shichimi togarashi can be adjusted according to your spice preference.
- Enjoy these fries fresh out of the oven for best texture.
