Variation: For a sweeter flavor, use sweet potatoes instead of russets. Proceed as directly in steps 1, 2 and 3. Add 1/2 tsp of paprika when tossing potatoes with spices in step 4. Bake as directed in step 5.

Crinkle cut fries are especially crispy. Use a ripple-edged cutter to cut potatoes into 1/4" thick slices. Then cut crosswise into fries. Proceed as directed.
