Hi Jasper! This is what I do for oven fries...
1. Preheat the oven to 400. Spray a cookie sheet or baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Peel your desired number of potatoes. Cut them in half lengthwise, and then cut into wedges/slices. I usually do 2 potatoes per person (love my taters!), and find that each potato makes 6-8 wedges, depending on the size of it.
3. Lay them on the cookie sheet, spray them with cooking spray, and sprinkle with salt.
4. Bake at 400 for 45 minutes to an hour, turning once after 30 minutes. I like mine pretty crisp and brown on the outside and meltingly soft on the inside, so I do them almost an hour.
You could also broil them instead, which takes less time - about 15-20 minutes - but you have to turn them every 5 minutes so they don't burn, and I can't be bothered to stand there in the kitchen and wait.
