To prepare the potatoes:
Peel the potatoes and cut them into the same size sticks, similar to those for French fries.
Place the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water and leave to soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
Preheat the oven:
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Season:
Drain and pat the potato sticks dry with a clean cloth or absorbent paper.
In a large bowl, toss the potato sticks with the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika and rosemary, if necessary. Make sure all the potatoes are well seasoned.
Cook:
Arrange the potato sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Try not to overlap them, to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Preparation:
Remove the potato sticks from the oven and transfer them to a plate.
Add an extra pinch of salt if necessary and serve hot.
Suggestions:
Seasoning variations: You can experiment with different spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, oregano, thyme, or cayenne pepper, to give the potato sticks a unique flavor.
Cook evenly – To ensure that the potatoes cook evenly, cut them all the same size and do not overcrowd the baking sheet.
Dipping sauce: Serve the potato sticks with ketchup, mayonnaise, aioli, or your favorite sauce.
These potato sticks are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your meal
