SERVES 4-6
There are times when only french fries will go with a meal, but you just don't feel like going through the frying process. Don't reach for that store-bought bag in the freezer. The extra work involved with making your own is scrubbing and cutting the potatoes, which only takes a few minutes. Plus you control the salt and the oil. It is well worth the effort.
INGREDIENTS
Preheat oven to 475° F. Lightly grease or spray 2 large baking sheets or, better yet, line with parchment paper. Scrub potatoes. (Peeling is optional.) Cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch sticks, depending on desired thickness, by first making slices, then stacking the slices, about 3 at a time, to cut into sticks. Place in bowl; toss with oil and salt until evenly coated. Place in one layer on baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn fries with spatula and switch racks if using two. Continue to bake about 25 minutes, or until well browned and crispy. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste and serve immediately.
Note: Make this in any amount desired.
