Ingredients

6 russet potatoes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Peel potatoes and cut lengthwise into quarter-inch thick slices. Cut again into 1/4-inch thick fries. Place the potatoes into a bowl with cold water; this will help keep the fries crisp. Just before cooking, drain water and place on paper towel, pat dry.

Put the potatoes in a bowl; add olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well and lay out in 1 layer on nonstick baking sheet. Bake until light brown. Cook for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently until golden brown.

Remove from oven, allow to cool for 1 or 2 minutes and serve.

Delicious!

Even my hubby, who hates fries, loved these and asked for them again. What I like best is I can control the amount of salt.

My family loves these fries! We have even used Paula Deen's House seasoning to add a little zip!

vague instructions
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The recipe is vague. I've seen this type of recipe before, so I understand the basic, but it doesn't even say how long to... leave it in the water bath (1 minute or 30 minutes).Read more

just a'ight....
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

i admit, it could have been because i tried to make MORE french fries than the recipe was designed for... the fries just... seemed a little bland to me. the guys loved it. i would suggest broiling for extra crispiness. and watch out when you open the oven to flip the fries - the billowing steam at 450 degrees nearly singed all my facial hair off! :)Read more
