HOMEMADE "BAKED" FRENCH FRIES
This weekend I was craving french fries and a good hot dog. So I decided to make some home made "baked" french fries. They couldn't be to hard was my thought and they weren't! They were really good and easy to make. I was a little afraid because if you look up how to make them, a lot of recipes say that you need a special machine to cut the potatoes perfectly even so that they will cook evenly. But hey, I knew I could cut them evenly... or at least pretty even. So I went ahead and chopped up some potatoes.
I made sure to scrub my potatoes well because I like french fries with the skin on. And because I think they are prettier (if french fries can be pretty and I think they can). After I cut all my potatoes into fry sized pieces I tossed them in a bowl of olive oil, salt and pepper and if your feeling adventurous a little cayenne pepper. After they were nicely coated I laid them evenly on a baking sheet and put them in the oven at 350 F. They need to cook for about 20 - 30 mins depending on how thick you make your slices. Also, about halfway through you should take them out and mix them around a little to make sure they are cooking evenly (or at least my paranoid self likes to do this) you don't have to if you trust your oven... I dont.
These were so good, so quick, and so easy to make that they will definitely be something I make again.* Today is the last day to enter the Art Giveaway
