  • Heat oven to 425°
  • Scrub russet potatoes, but don't peel. Slice into french fry-sized sticks.
  • Scrub sweet potatoes, and peel. Slice into french fry-sized sticks.
  • Line a large baking or cookie sheet with tin foil. Spray well with cooking spray. Dump sweet and russet potatoes onto baking sheet. Drizzle oil over potatoes. Mix them with hands to distribute oil over all. Arrange so that they are in a single layer, without too much overlapping.
