Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 pounds russet potatoes rinsed and peeled
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup ghee
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Adjust oven racks to lower and upper position and preheat oven to 500F degrees.
  • In a large bowl, soak potatoes in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover with cold water by 1-inch. Add 2 Tablespoons salt and 2 Tablespoons vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until exteriors are tender, about 10 minutes. Potatoes should show a slight resistance when poked with a paring knife or a cake tester. Drain potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks, and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add ghee to bowl with potatoes. Season with seasoned salt, chili powder, basil, cumin, and black pepper.
  • Divide potatoes evenly between two rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bottoms are crisp and golden. Remove from oven and flip potatoes using a rubber spatula (just trust me, it works!). Continue baking for another 20 minutes, until other side is golden brown. Serve immediately with ketchup or dip of choice.
