Ingredients
  • 5-10 Potatoes, my favorite ones are Yukon Golds
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • All-Season Salt
  • Garlic Powder
Instructions
  1. Scrub the potatoes, I use a vegetable scrubber. Let the potatoes dry on a hand towel. 

  2. Start your water boiling while you cut the potatoes. You will "blanch" your potatoes in this pan for 3 minutes.

  3. Use a good knife to cut or slice the potatoes into French Fry shapes.

  4. Preheat your oven WITH the cookie sheet to (425°F ) = (218°C).

  5. Place the cut potatoes into a strainer in order to place the potatoes into the boiling water.

  6. Blanch the potatoes for 3 minutes in the boiling water.

  7. Remove the strainer /pan from the stove and let the potatoes drain.

  8. Place the potatoes on a towel to dry.

  9. Pat the potatoes dry with another towel in order to remove as much moisture as possible.

  10. Place the towel-dried potatoes into a bowl.

  11. Drizzle the potatoes with a little olive oil. You will not drench or soak the potatoes, a little oil is better.

  12. Lightly sprinkle the potatoes with All-Season Salt and garlic powder.

  13. This is my favorite step, remove the "heated" pan from the oven and place the seasoned potatoes on the cookie or baking sheet. You will hear the pan sizzle as you place them on the cookie sheet. This is exactly what you want to hear. Put the pan back into the oven. You will bake them for 20-25 minutes and flip the potatoes over and bake another 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
