Method
Cut potatoes1 into thick sticks and rinse under cold water.
Pat dry with a towel, then toss with oil and sea salt.
Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 28–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until deeply golden.
Snip nori sheets into tiny pieces with scissors.
Sprinkle hot fries with nori and sesame, toss to coat, and serve immediately.
Tips
- Why it works
- Rinse the potatoes after cutting to remove the starch, otherwise the fries won't be crispy. Bake at 220 °C so the crust turns golden and the inside stays soft.
- Substitutions
- Replace the nori with dried seaweed (1 tsp) or ground nut cookies (5 g). Use flax seeds (6 g) or poppy seeds (5 g) instead of sesame.
- Common mistakes
- If the potatoes are still raw inside, you didn't flip them in time or the temperature was below 200 °C. Check after 20 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 180 °C for 10 minutes to bring back the crunch.
- Serve with
- Serve with a crab burger or as a snack with iced tea with lemon. You can also add them to an avocado salad.
