| Directions | Preheat the oven to 450°. 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 fires crisp). Just before cooking, drain water and place on paper towel, pat dry. Put the potatoes in a bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well and lay out in 1 layer on a 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 to 2 minutes and serve. |
