How to make the oven fries

• Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Wash and peel the potatoes. Then pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels.
• Cut the potatoes into fries by first slicing the potatoes and then cutting them into fries about one centimetre wide. Pat them thoroughly dry again.
• Put the fries in a bowl and drizzle with a splash of oil and a generous pinch of salt.
• Place the fries on the baking sheet. Spread the fries out well across the baking sheet; they must not touch one another.
• Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake the fries until crispy, for about 30 minutes. Turn the fries halfway through.
