My fries only took about 25 minute I checked on my potatoes and turned them about every 5 minute or so. You will see them browning and hear them sizzling.) Sprinkle w/ the remaining 1/2 teaspoons of salt.

Steps:

• Spread out on small sheet pan or in small roaster that has been well greased or sprayed with no stick spray.
