Instructions
Fries
Preheat oven to 450. Spread parchment paper over baking sheets. Peel and slice potatoes evenly into strips. I usually cut off a bit of the ends to help even them out.
Place potato strips on baking sheet and sprinkle with cornstarch. Using hands, toss potato strips with cornstarch until coated. Drizzle potato strips with olive oil and sprinkle with all the spices. Using hands, toss potato strips again until mixed well with oil and spices.
Space potato strips out so they are not touching. Use two baking sheets if necessary. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove pan from oven and flip potato strips. Bake another 12 minutes or until nicely browned.
Turn oven off and open door but do not remove pan. Allow pan to rest in oven 10-15 minutes. This will help the potatoes become crispier.
Sauce
In medium bowl, stir all ingredients together until well blended. Store in refrigerator for 3-4 days.
