What You’ll Need
- Russet potatoes. Scrub four medium potatoes and leave the skins on. Use a crinkle cutter to make ridged slices or fries about ¼ inch thick.
- Olive oil. Two tablespoons give the potatoes a thin, even coating.
- Flaky sea salt. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon over the potatoes before baking, then taste and add another pinch if needed.
How to Get Crisp, Golden Ridges
Cut the potatoes to an even thickness and pat them very dry before tossing with the oil. Spread them in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. If they overlap, use a second sheet so each piece has room to brown.
Roast at 425°F for 20 minutes, then flip the pieces with a thin spatula. Bake for another 15–20 minutes, until the ridges are deeply golden and the centers are tender. Check toward the early end of the range, since smaller pieces may brown faster.
How to Serve Potato Crinkles
Serve the crinkles hot, while the edges are at their crispest. They go well with burgers, sandwiches, or roast chicken, and you can set out ketchup or garlic aioli for dipping.
