Notes

  • I have left the skin on my potatoes for the fries. When doing so, make sure to wash and scrub the potatoes really well before proceeding to cook with them
  • You can add any spices/herbs/flavours of your choice in step 2
  • The potatoes will slightly shrink in size once baked, so make sure to keep them thick when cutting
  • tsp - teaspoon
  • tbsp - tablespoon
