Oven Fries

I love potatoes, especially french fries.  I've found that they are a lot less greasy baked in the oven and actually taste better too!

Take one small potato per person you're feeding and slice them up.

I like them on the thin side so they crisp up, but you can cut them to the whichever thickness you prefer. I also like to leave the skins on, but if you're family doesn't like that, you can peel them beforehand.

Spread out fries evenly on a baking sheet, I like to line mine with tinfoil so that it's easier clean up, but you don't have to.  I also coat it with olive oil.  Salt the fries to taste.  I like to use Season All seasoned salt, but sea salt works great as well.

 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (450 degrees if sliced thick.)

Bake fries until golden brown.  Turning once.  (About 20 mintues.)

One serving is 5 points+.
