Crispy Baked Cottage Fries

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Cottage Fries.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, toss together your sliced potatoes with a sprinkle of salt, a dash of black pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick, and a generous sprinkle of herbes de Provence for that delightful aromatic touch.

4. Step 4

   Drizzle some olive oil over the seasoned potatoes and give everything a good stir, ensuring each slice is beautifully coated in flavor.

5. Step 5

   Now, spread those seasoned potato slices out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, making sure they have a bit of space between them to allow for even cooking.

6. Step 6

   Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the potatoes bake for 15 minutes.

7. Step 7

   After that, carefully flip each slice over to ensure they cook evenly, then return them to the oven for another 15 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Keep an eye on them as they bake, flipping again if needed, until they turn a gorgeous golden brown and develop a crispy edge.

9. Step 9

   In about 30 minutes total, you’ll have perfectly baked potatoes with soft, tender centers that are simply irresistible.
