Tips
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Be sure to use the right type of potato. Yukon potatoes are best for frying. They’re waxy enough to ensure they hold their shape when frying, but also starchy enough to become silky and smooth on the inside.

The potatoes do not need to be peeled beforehand, they taste better with the skin. However, be sure to wash the potatoes with a vegetable brush before use to remove any sand and coarse-grained dirt.
Feel free to experiment with other spices: try smoked paprika, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, or taco seasoning.
If you find that the potatoes are browning too quickly, you can cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
