One potato, two potato, three potato, four… (As in, make as many as you like.)
Tip: You can figure roughly one and a half large potatoes per person, but this doesn’t take into account how addictive French fries are! Might want to add an extra potato or two depending on appetites.
Crispy Oven-Baked French Fries
You can figure roughly one and a half large potatoes per person, but this doesn't take into account how addictive French fries are! Might want to add an extra potato or two depending on appetites. Note that three to four large potatoes will take two baking sheets.

Ingredients
- Potatoes (russet for traditional fries, though I've used red-skinned potatoes, too)
- Coconut oil cooking spray
- Canola oil
- Salt
- Optional additions: black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and/or onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Wash/scrub potatoes, pat dry, and cut into long matchsticks (about ½-inch-thick).
- Toss fries in a bowl with a drizzle of canola oil and salt to taste. (If you want a nontraditional French fry, lightly shake on any additional herbs and spices at this point.)
- Line baking sheets with aluminum foil and coat generously with coconut oil cooking spray. Arrange fries in a single layer so that they are barely touching each other.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes (depending on how dark/crunchy you like them), flipping them after the first 15 minutes or so.
