Easy and delicious oven fries

I seriously want some fries today.  I think you will too after I post this.

Ingredients:
Potatoes
Canola oil (or whichever cooking oil is your favorite)
Salt or other favorite seasoning

Wash and peel as many potatoes you like.  I find that you can fit up to seven medium-to-small potatoes on a standard cookie sheet so long as you cut the fries pretty thick.  Rinse the potatoes after peeling and then cut the potatoes into long strips as thick or as thin as you like.  If you cut them into about 1/8 inch thick, you get a nice fry that can get crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

Some people like to get fancy here and rinse or soak the fries before cooking them.  I think it's suppose to make them more crispy, but I don't do it.

Take a gallon-size bag or a dish with a lid and dump all of the potatoes into it.  Then dump in some oil.  You need enough oil to be able to coat the fries, but you don't want too much oil.  Maybe up to three tablespoons depending on how many potatoes you use?  I don't know.  Seal and shake the bag to coat the potatoes, and then dump them on a greased cookie sheet.  You probably don't need to grease the cookie sheet, but sometimes these can stick if you don't allow them to cook for long enough.

Bake at 450F for about 35 minutes.  You'll know they're done when they're a little brown on top and brown around the edges.  The fries should be a little bit yellow in color.  The result will look something like this.

Look at those delicious fries.

If you pair this with some chicken or hamburgers you'll be able to have a restaurant-quality meal at a fraction of the price.  I have no need to go to a casual dining place to get a good burger and fries.  I can make them at home!

I love good food.
