Oven French Fries

Graybert's Note:

A healthy way to make french fries - once you try these you'll never go back to the old "frying" method! Enjoy!!

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 8 yukon gold potatoes
• 1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (use a good quality - I use Mastero)
• salt
• Pam cooking spray

Directions:

1. Wash potatoes and cut them into semi-thin strips.
2. Place strips in a bowl and add cool water to cover the potatoes.
3. Wash out some of the"starch" and then drain the potatoes well.
4. Mix in the olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
5. Mix all of the potatoes well so that they all get coated evenly.
6. Spray a cookie sheet with PAM and then place the potatoes on top.
7. Cook at 350F for approximately 20-25 minutes (more if you want them crunchy and brown) Serve and enjoy!

These were outstanding. I use 5 russet potatoes cut into strips, and 1 tsp of lawyers seasoning salt, 1 tsp of garlic powder, fresh ground pepper mixed with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. I baked them for 40 minutes at 400 degrees and they came out just perfect!! I will definatley make these again and again. I think that these would be great with melted chedder and monterey jack cheese on top. YUM!!

I did four potatoes and cooked at 400 deg. for forty minutes. I should have put them under the broiler for a few minutes to crispy them up. They were great and will cook them often. Update: I did add 1 t. seasoned salt, 1 t. garlic powder and fresh gr. pepper. Still love them.

These are soooo good! My family has officially given up frozen french fries after discovering how easy it is to make our own! The first time I made these, I followed the directions exactly, only I used russet potatoes instead of yukon gold. The second time I made these, I again used russet potates, and I added about a 1/2 tsp of paprika, oregano, black pepper, and garlic powder. They turned out great! I did increase the oven temp and baking time to 400 degrees and about 30 minutes.
