These unbelievably crispy oven fries cut the grease and calories of a standard French fry and taste way better. While this process isn't as fast as a deep fryer, the extra time is worth it. You can even parboil the potatoes ahead of time and wait until it's closer to serving time to bake them.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with water to 2 inches above. Place pot over high heat for 10 minutes (it will take about 8 minutes to come to a boil, and will only boil for a couple minutes). Drain potatoes in a colander, and dry on paper towels.
Toss potatoes with oil on a rimmed baking sheet, and arrange in a single layer. Bake in preheated oven until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt.
