The first hundred times (maybe not that much), it would take the fries a long time to bake which doesn't help when I have to get dinner on the table between 5 and 5:10 so hubby can eat and get to work. So I decided to do something different. I cut up the potatoes and then out them into a microwaveable bowl, cover the potatoes with water (about an inch above), and then parboil them in the microwave for 5 minutes. Then I drain the potatoes, spread them on a greased cookie sheet, and then bake. They turn out perfect.
To cut the potatoes into fries, I first cut the potatoes in half length wise. I place one of the half flat size down and cut it half. I then cut each half in half once again. If the fries are still too big, I once again cut it in half. If not, I place it in the pile of fries. I repeat with the other halves. Here's what the look like after I cut the potatoes:
Here is the potatoes in the water:
I used my 8 cup measuring cup so the fries were able to stand up in the water.
