Chunky Oven Fries
Only use potatoes coming from Cyprus, mostly the Spunta variety that is grown on red soil, famous for their excellent flavour and firm texture. It’s amazing how good these are. Boiling them helps to have a crispier result.
Drain the boiled potato sticks and let cool.
Use an oven-proof baking dish and spread in the potato sticks. Add the rosemary sprigs and season with the salt and pepper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown making sure that halfway through the cooking you toss and turn them.
