Steps
- 1Using a mandoline with a crinkle blade (or a waffle-cut attachment), slice potatoes into waffle-cut rounds by rotating the potato 90° between each slice.
- 2Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry.
- 3Toss with olive oil and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- 4Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast at 220°C for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until deeply golden and crisp at the edges.
- 5Season with sea salt immediately after removing from the oven.
Tips
- No waffle-cutter? Regular thin-cut fries work with the same bake time.
- A wire rack under the fries helps crisp the bottoms too.
