For the dinner date, my sister gave me this recipe from one of her cookbooks for home baked fries.
Peel the potatoes, leave a few strips of skin on. Cut into 1/3" strips, sit in cold lightly salted water for 1 hour.
Drain potatoes, dry well on kitchen towels. I used paper towels. Spray baking sheet with floured cooking spray, you can find Pam baking no-stick cooking spray. Do not use parchment paper. I didn't use the floured spray and my fries stuck to the tray. You could probably just lightly oil and flour the pan if you don't have cooking spray.
Place the dried potatoes on the sprayed and floured baking sheet. Season with olive oil, salt (maybe 1/4 tsp), pepper and herbs. Bake at 400F for 40-50 min. Rotate the pan halfway through baking, stir the potatoes occasionally. Done when golden brown.
Wow! Cool ART!
