I couldn't tell you how many just cut until you have enough fries to feed the number you want. I then put them on a baking sheet, maybe more than one depending on the amount of fries you have. You want them to be a single layer or as close to it as you can. Now coat them in EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic (don't be stingy) and we add cheyanne pepper to spice it up. Make sure you mix them up with your hands to evenly coat them with this mixture. You could also add any seasoning you really like. Bake at 375 for 15 min. Then stir them, flip them. Continue baking until they are the crispness that you want. I like mine really crunchy so I think they bake for 30min or more total. Serve them with ranch dressing for dipping and yummy! The best part is you get to enjoy french fries without the guilt. They're baked with health oil and not deep fried in grease. I hope you try them and love them.
