45 minServes 2By Diego Ramírez
You'll need
- 2 large floury potatoes
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp flaky salt
Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Cut the potatoes into even sticks.
- Soak them in cold water for 20–30 minutes, then dry them very well on a towel.
- Toss with the oil and spread out on a tray in a single layer, not touching.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until deep golden.
- Rub the lemon zest into the salt and sprinkle it over the hot fries.
Well-made tip: give the fries plenty of room on the tray. Crowded fries steam instead of crisping.
