  Chef’s Note: I like to peel my potatoes when I make fries; however, if you like the skin, you don’t have to peel.

  Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 450f (230c).
• 
  6

  Cut the potato into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
•

  Chef’s Tip: At this point get creative… For example, I add a bit of cumin and cayenne to the mix. What kind of spices do you like?

  Chef’s Note: Before adding the potatoes, make sure that they are completely dry. If they are damp, the olive oil and spices will not stick properly, and you’ll wind up with soggy fries.

  Chef’s Note: The cooling rack is not necessary; however, it helps in the crisping of the fries.
