Crispy Oven Fries

My mom found this recipe in the newspaper, and I wasn’t disappointed!

Crispy Oven Fries

1 potato
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil

  1. Preheat oven to 425F. Peel the potato and slice into fries.
  2. In a pan, place the fries, 1/2 tsp salt, and cover with cold water. Cover, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Meanwhile, put the oil on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven to heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and cook 5 minutes. Drain. Holding the pan and lid tight, shake the fries for 5 seconds.
  4. Pour fries carefully onto the preheated pan. Top with 1/2 tsp salt, and stir to coat. Spread them out so they’re not touching.
  5. Bake 20 minutes. Flip. Bake 10 more minutes. Enjoy!
