Ingredients
- 6 kipfler potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt
Instructions
- Wash & dry potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into wedges, insuring all are equal sizes. I usually cut mine in 1/2 and then into 1/4's or if they are slightly smaller then just in 1/2 and then into 1/3's.
- Toss them in a small amount of oil and lay out onto a baking tray.
- Bake in the oven at 220c for 15-20 minutes (size depending).
- Season with salt and bask in the glory of homemade fries!
Notes
Essential Tools

Tips/Tricks
- ensure potatoes are cut to similar size so that they cook evenly
- if you don't have kipfler potatoes then you can substitute red skinned potatoes or fingerlings as they are similarly waxy
- if you want a more fluffy texture to your fries then you can use russet or maris piper potatoes
- DON'T season the potatoes before cooking them as the salt will draw out the moisture and not allow them to crisp up well
- seasoning them as soon as they are out of the oven is a must as the salt will coat the potatoes perfectly at this stage
