French Fries

Servings: 4 | Serving Size: 1/4th Recipe

1 lb.	russet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/4 inch strips)
1 quart	chilled water
1 tray	ice cubes
1/8 tsp.	salt
	spray canola oil

After the potatoes are peeled and sliced, place them in a mixing bowl with the cold water and ice cubes.  Soak for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

After soaking the potatoes, drain them and pat dry with a paper towel. 

Place the potatoes and salt in a zipper bag. Spray the potatoes for about three seconds with the canola oil, then seal the zipper bag and shake well to coat the potatoes with the oil and salt.

Carefully place the potatoes on a non-stick cookie sheet, spacing them out to avoid the fries touching each other. Spray lightly with cooking spray (the canola oil).

Place the cookie sheet in the oven and allow the potatoes to bake for about 7 minutes.  Turn the potatoes at least twice, cooking for about 7 minutes after each turn.  Total cooking time will be 20 – 25 minutes.

Serve immediately.
