MCDONALD'S-STYLE FRENCH FRIES
Makes 1 medium-sized serving
1 3/4 teaspoons salt (divided)
2 russet potatoes (1 pound)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Set the potatoes on a cutting board. Make straight cuts on the 4 long sides of the potatoes to remove the peel. With a vegetable peeler or small knife, peel the ends of the potatoes. Discard the peels.
With a knife, cut the remaining potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick sticks. These can vary in length. On a scale, weigh 9 ounces of potatoes or measure 2 cups. Transfer the potatoes to the boiling water. Cook for exactly 2 1/2 minutes but no longer or they will break. Drain in a colander. Set aside for about 5 minutes to cool.
Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Carefully toss to coat well. Place the potatoes, not touching, in a single layer on a large nonstick baking sheet.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the potatoes about every 5 minutes or until crisp and golden. Sprinkle, if desired, with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
