    I slice mine thin and soak them for an hour in cold water then dry them well. Toss with a tbsp of olive oil and dust with corn starch and spices like garlic salt, onion powder and a bit of basil. Bake @400 for about 20 mins turning half way through. They aren't exactly fried but they are good. There is also a new tfal gadget that deep fries food in a tbsp of oil. I haven't tried it though.

    This gadget you mention intrigued me so I looked it up on Amazon, $180. Guess, I am going to have to live with baked fries.

    I like sweet potato fries. Slice sweet potato one way, turn and slice again. So easy! Toss with little oil and salt. I use a baking stone on the 400 degrees and turn once.

    "Bump" just means that the topic will keep being 'bumped up' (kept current) and not get lost as more topics are added. New topics go to the 'front of the line,' if you will. Old ones keep getting pushed further and further back, meaning people might never see them.

    Sorry this is a little off topic... but how do i "bump" a topic? does one have to do something specific to "bring up a topic" or is it just indicative?

    I put them in a bowl with some low fat cooking oil and give it a good mix with my hands until all the fries are covered, then bake for 20-40 mins depending in thickness (about halfway through i turn them). They are of course not as nice as the real thing but have a def crunch and good golden colour

    Perhaps you're using the wrong variety of potato? Rooster potatoes (these have a red skin) crisp much better with this method than a generic white (cheapo) potato I bought last week.

    You just write as a comment "Bump" or anything else you want like "read later", "to remember", etc. some people bump so it will remain in their comments and have it as a resource in the future.

    I cut the fries and then drizzle a little bot of olive oil on the fries and "massage" them well with my bare fingers so that the olive oil will coat all the fries. Then I salt them and bake them in pre-heated oven.

    Also, this is from cook's illustrated

    true, my red roasted potatoes are usually crunchy. but i want to duplicate the fried in oil type white potato french fries. or sweet potato fries.

    I LOVE french fries. However I think I love my homemade french fries even more. I use baking potatoes, and then slice them long ways, very very very thin. I then spray a cookie sheet with Pam Olive Oil and place the strips of potatos on the sheet. I sprinkle garlic, salt, onion powder, and parsly on the potatoes, spray them directly with the Pam OO and bake for about 15 minutes. I then flip the potatoes and spray the potatoes again with Pam Olive Oil and bit more garlic and bake for another 10 minutes. Since I slice them really thin, they usually come out very cripsy on the ends. Delicious!
