Baked Fries

1: Arrange oven racks so that there is one about 6 inches from the top of the oven and another on the lowest part, then preheat oven to 400°F.

2: Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4-1/2 inch slices, then again into wedges. If not baking immediately, fill a bowl with cold water and add potatoes to prevent browning.

3: Place fries on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring each potato piece is coated.

4: Place one sheet tray on the top rack and one on the bottom, and set a timer for 35 minutes.

5: When the timer goes off, switch the trays: move the top tray to the bottom rack and vice versa. Set the timer for another 30 minutes.

6: When the second timer goes off, remove the fries, which should be golden. Transfer them to a metal mixing bowl, add sea salt and optional Parmesan, and toss to coat before enjoying.
