Ingredients

1

small sweet potato (8 ounces)

2

small Yukon Gold potatoes (4 to 6 ounces each)

2

purple potatoes (4 to 6 ounces each)

2

red potatoes (4 to 6 ounces each)

2

to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1

to 2 tablespoons coarse salt

Preparation

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut each potato lengthwise, then slice into 1/2-inch strips. Turn the potatoes into a large bowl, toss with the oil to thoroughly coat, then toss in the salt.

Spread the potatoes on an ungreased baking sheet about 1/4 inch apart (they shouldn’t touch).

Bake about 15 minutes, then turn them with a spatula and continue baking, turning every 5 minutes so that they don’t stick, but brown evenly on all sides, about 25 to 30 minutes total.
