Oven-Baked French Fries
- 1 pound Russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
Scrub the potatoes but don’t bother peeling. Cut the potatoes into 1/4″ thick slices, then turn the slices onto their sides and cut into 1/4″ strips. I find this easiest to do if I slice 1/4″ off the ends first and cut the ends into 1/4″ strips separately. Then you can stack the first 1/4″ slices and cut through them all at the same time to form the strips.
Soak in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes while you heat the oven to 450 F. Drain the potatoes and pat dry with a towel or paper towels. Mix in a bowl with the oil and salt.
Spray a baking sheet with olive oil (I like this Misto Olive Oil Sprayer
