Ingredients

  • 6 potatoes large
  • 1/4 Cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Teaspoons salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Have ready two large baking trays.
  • Wash and scrub the potatoes. If using a french fry cutter, place the potato in and push it through to get perfect fries. If cutting manually with a knife, cut the potato into 1 inch slices. Then cut then into strips about 1/2 inch thickness. Repeat for all potatoes.
  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let sit for about 30 minutes. Wash and rinse. Drain in a colander. Then dry in a clean tea towel. Toss in the salt.
  • Evenly distribute the fries on two of the trays. It's important they don't overlap. Drizzle over the vegetable oil and toss to coat.
  • Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. Remove trays and give the pans a good shake and loosen them from the pan if they are stuck. Return to oven for a further 20 - 25 minutes or until perfectly crisp.
  • Serve immediately.
