OVEN FRITES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place a heavy-duty baking sheet in the oven. Scrub and rinse potatoes well, and then cut them lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide batons. Place potato batons in a medium bowl, and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• When baking sheet is hot, about 15 minutes, remove from oven, and spray with olive-oil cooking spray. Place prepared potatoes on baking sheet in a single layer. Return to oven, and bake until potatoes are golden on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Turn potatoes over, and continue cooking until golden all over, another 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

HOME FRIES IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Melt margarine/butter over medium heat in a large heavy bottomed fry pan which has a heat resistant handle(I use cast iron)
• When butter starts to sizzle add potatoes and let fry for 2 minutes.
• Turn with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Continue until all sides of potato cubes are browned.
• Place in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.*.
• (Cooking time will depend on the type of potato used. Yukon Gold/Katahdins/Red Norlands take less time to cook than Shepradies/Russett/BellRus. Use your own judgement.).

OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position; heat oven to 475 degrees. Place potatoes in a large bowl and cover with hot tap water; soak 10 minutes. Meanwhile, coat 18 by 12 inch heavy duty rimmed baking sheet (non stick works well) with 4 tablespoons oil and sprinkle evenly with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
• Drain potatoes. Spread potatoes out on triple layer of paper towels and thoroughly pat dry with additional paper towles. Rinse and wipe out the empty bowl; return potatoes to the bowl and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on prepared baking sheet; cover tightly with foil and bake 5 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until bottoms of potatoes are spotty golden brown, 15-20 minutes, rotating baking shet after 10 minutes. Using metal spatula and tongs, scrape to loosen potatoes from pan, then flip each wedge, keeping potatoes in a single layer. Continue baking until fries are golden and crisp, 5-15 minutes longer, ratating pan as needed if fries are browning unevenly.
• Transfer fries to second baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve.
