The Olive Bin

Rosemary Fries

Scrub potatoes and cut into ½ cm /0.2′′ wide matchsticks. Try to make them as even as possible so that they cook evenly.Plunge the potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them sit in it for about 30 min. Soaking will get rid of excess starch and result in crispier fries. Take the potato matchsticks out of the water, rinse them and blot dry with a paper towel. Place dry potato matchsticks in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 T of oil and use your hands to ensure that all matchsticks have been coated in oil. Season with a pinch or two of lavender rosemary salt. Preheat the oven to 435° F and line a baking tray with a piece of baking paper. Place potato matchsticks on the baking tray in a single layer and make sure fries do not touch. The more space they have around them the crispier they will turn out.Bake for about 30-35 minutes. 20 minutes in, gently turn the fries to the other side. Sprinkle with more rosemary salt if needed and some chili flakes (if using)
