Baked French Fries

I must be crazy.  I said this week was Hispanic recipes, but then I give a recipe for cheese sauce yesterday, and french fries today?!  That's right.  Once again, this recipe is needed to make tomorrow's main dish, but you can also enjoy eating fries in the meantime.

If desired, you can peel your potatoes before starting, but I like having a little bit of skin on my fries, I think it makes them taste a little better.  Cut your potatoes into sticks that are about 1/2" x 1/2" and long.

Boil the potatoes in water with about a teaspoon of salt for about 1 or 2 minutes.  

Drain the potatoes and then toss in a large bowl with some oil and salt.

Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes or until crispy on the outside and golden brown.
