Notes
- What kind of potatoes should you use? For this recipe, we used russet potatoes, but you can use any potato type you like.
- The thicker the potato slices, the longer they will take to cook through.
- Feel free to use any spice blend you like. They would be great with dried thyme, rosemary, Cajun seasoning, or a Greek spice blend.
- Storage Tip: These Cottage Fries a best enjoyed warm, but you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Though they may lose their crispy texture when reheated.
- Storage Tip: Cottage Fries can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm them in an oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through cooking.
