Oven Fries For Two Recipes

CRISPY BAKED FRENCH FRIES - FRESH OR FROZEN

Steps:

• Start with a couple of medium russet potatoes (about one pound). That will make four servings. Preheat oven to 425° convection. If you don't have convection, you can use 450° or stay at 425°, and it will take a bit longer.
• Scrub the potatoes and if using russet potatoes, peel the potatoes. Cut your fries 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. I suggest a mandoline, but a knife will do.
• Place in cold water in a large bowl and soak for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Drain, rinse the fries with cold water several times, place them on a paper towel and dry well.
• Dry the bowl, put fries back in, and stir with about a tablespoon of oil.
• Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil and a rack. Spray with PAM. Spread the fries on a prepared rack. Do not overlap, but they may touch a little. Give a light sprinkle of coarse salt.
• Bake until golden brown-about 30 minutes. Season again while still hot.
