Baked FRENCH FRIES recipe?!
Answers: My oven baked french fries never turn out the way I'd like them. They're never as crispy as I would like. Does anyone have a tasty and healthy TESTED recipe for baked fries?? Thanks!
"Bistro French Fries With Parsley and Garlic"

2 tablespoons canola oil

Bake until potatoes are deep golden brown, turning and rearranging potatoes frequently, about 40 minutes.

I know this is not truly "homemade" fries but I've done it your way and have failed miserably. Instead, I found frozen french fries in the regular grocery market that you bake for about 15 minutes that turn out just as good as the fast food chains.
They are made by Ore Ida and come in a red bag. They have different varieties such as fast food, curly, steak, seasoned, crinkle cut, extra crispy, etc. and they are fantastic!
This way the fries come out perfect, you don't have to use your deep fryer, smell up the house with cooking oil and clean up is super fast.
Mix 1/4 c dijon mustard w/ 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Add 1 tsp basil to this and coat fries. Bake 400 for 10 min on each side.
LOW FAT CRISPY OVEN FRENCH FRIES
4 med. potatoes
1 tbsp. oil
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Peel potatoes and cut into long strips, about 1/2 inch wide. Dry strips thoroughly with paper towels. Toss in a bowl with oil as if making salad. When strips are thoroughly coated with the oil, spread them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and place in preheated oven for 35 minutes. Turn strips periodically to brown on all sides.
If a crispier, browner potato is desired, run under broiler for a minute or two, watching carefully. Sprinkle with salt at serving. 6 servings. Approximate calories per serving: 80.
