Oven Baked French Fries or Chips

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
To peel or not to peel, is strictly up to the cook. If you don't, scrub and
cut potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks. While cutting the potatoes, I keep them
in a bowl of cold water in order for potatoes not to turn color. Rinse,
drain and dry the potatoes on paper toweling or flour sack towel. At this
time, you may place the potatoes in a bowl and toss with 1 to 2 tablespoons
of oil. I omit this step and just spray the baking sheet with vegetable oil
spray and then spray the potatoes on the baking sheet with the vegetable
oil. Bake for 20 minutes, toss and bake an additonal 20 minutes or until
golden brown. Toss frequently during the last 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle
with salt or your favorite seasonings.
NOTE: For making chips, slice potatoes crosswise about 1/8-inch thick and
bake at 350 degrees . Baking time is around 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with
your favorite seasonings.
Suggested seasonings: Instead of salt and/or pepper to taste, you can use
seasoned salt, dried rosemary, dried thyme or for an Italian flavor, try
dried oregano, dried basil and/or grated Parmesan cheese.
