Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Potatoes peeled
  • Boiling Water
  • 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp. Salt

Method
 

  1. Peel your potatoes and cut them into 1/4" thick slices. Parboil them in some boiling water until you can pierce the potato completely with a fork. Be careful not to overcook them, they'll become too mushy and no longer usable.
  2. Pre-heat your oven to 350. If you own a convection  oven, even better. Use that setting. It helps make for a crisper fry.
  3. Spoon them out of the water and on a baking sheet. Brush on your olive oil and sprinkle the salt on your fries. Then put the potatoes in your oven. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, keep an eye on the fries, they should puff up and become nice and crispy.
  4. Now treat yourself to an almost guilt free French Fry.
