If you enjoy hot, crispy, salty french fries, but hate the calories, this recipe is for you!

Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Next, wash off your potatoes and slice them into a french fry shape. The way I prefer to do this is to cut the ends off, slice the potato short-ways every inch or so to make round slices, then cut those across 3 or 4 times to make fries that aren't too long or thick.
3. Then toss your potato slices with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
4. Spread the slices out evenly on parchment paper, and bake for 30 minutes, giving them a quick stir halfway through. Feel free to cook them longer if you would like them more crispy.
5. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

Parchment paper works best when baking potatoes so they don't stick!
