How to Cut Potatoes into Fries

Step 1

Place the potato on its side and using a large chef’s knife, cut a thin slice off the edge to serve as a flat base.

Step 2

Flip the potato cut side down and cut thin slices; make them the width you’d like your french fries.

Step 3

Stack a few of the slices, then cut them in the other direction to create french fries. For our fries recipe, go to Crispy Baked Fries.
