"I make these "fries" quite often. Since they use so little fat they're a lot healthier than the traditional deep fried version. This recipe was found in Company's Coming Vegetables. Note: The prep time includes 30 minute cold water soak."
Preheat oven to 475 Fahrenheit.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, cut each half into 4 pieces (or cut into traditional french fry shape).
Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, drain and blot dry. (This removes some of the starch and helps prevent clumping. Skip this step if you prefer.)
Place potato pieces into a large bowl, pour oil over potatoes and stir well to coat all pieces.
Arrange on a baking tray in a single layer, sprinkle with paprika and bake for 20 minutes, turning after 12 minutes to brown the other side.
Sprinkle with salt and enjoy.
