Home Fries
These are truly the tastiest french fries you will ever eat. They come without guilt, as they are not deep fried but oven fried in a minimal amount of oil. Always plan on at least one large potato per person and then throw in two more for the potato lovers at the table! Brace yourself, these are truly as good as it gets.
Ingredients:
6 large russet potatoes, skin on
2 - 3 tbsp. good olive oil
Sea salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
2. Scrub the potatoes well, cut them into french fry slices. Do not make them too big as the cooking time increases. A good size is 1/2 inch by as long as the potato is.
3. Place the fries on a cookie sheet, drizzle the oil over and toss with your hands so that the fries are all coated with oil (be generous). Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
4. Make sure that they are not piled on top of each other while baking, they like to bask in their own space so that they become golden brown on all sides.
5. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the fries are golden brown. You will have to turn them once during cooking. If you find them sticking a bit, add a little more oil.
