Carefully remove the potatoes to a clean kitchen towel with a slotted spoon.

Gently pat dry, then transfer to a medium bowl and toss with oil.

Carefully spread the potatoes in a single layer on the hot baking sheet.

Bake, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy, 30 to 40 minutes.

Transfer the fries to a paper-towel-lined bowl.

Let rest for 2 minutes.

Remove the paper towels and sprinkle the fries with the remaining 14 teaspoon salt.
