Homemade Oven Fries

I just thought I'd post this because, although quite straightforward and not in need of a recipe, it's been a huge success with my boys lately. Yay!

Ingredients:
Potatoes (I used red skinned ones, unpeeled)
Olive oil
Salt

Method:
1. Wash potato, cut out any eyes or other nasties.
2. Cut lengthwise into chip shapes - shoestring or chunky.
3. Place in a shallow microwave dish with some water barely covering them.
4. Cook for 5 minutes on high.
5. Drain and pat dry.
6. Place in a single layer in an oven dish that's been pregreased with olive oil.
7. Slosh olive oil over the top.
8. Bake at 325°C until crispy - time will vary depending on the thickness of the chips. Turn occasionally.
9. Drain on paper towels before serving and sprinkle with salt if desired.

Note: olive oil produces the nicest tasting chips, we've decided! If you find another oil that produces a nice flavour, do let me know.
