The secret to crispy fries that are baked in the oven, I've discovered, is two-fold: one, you must soak the sliced potatoes in cold water before cooking, and two, you must allow yourself enough time to cook them until they're crispy.
Ingredients:
Baking (russet) potatoes, washed and cut lengthwise into strips
Olive oil
Sea salt
Procedure:
1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2) Scrub the potatoes and cut, with the skins on, into fry-sized strips, according to size preference.
3) As you cut them, put the potato slices into a bowl of cold water to soak.
4) After soaking for about ten minutes, remove the potatoes from the water and pat dry with paper towels.
5) Drizzle and brush the fries with olive oil, coating well.
6) Spread the fries onto a metal baking sheet, in a single layer, and sprinkle with sea salt so that it sticks to the oil on the potatoes.
7) Bake at 450 degrees, turning occasionally, until fries are roasted through to desired doneness. Brown and crispy will take maybe 20-25 minutes.
