French Fries

6 potatoes ( I like the yellow golden kind)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1T course salt
1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
3 lemons, zested
1 T freshly chopped parsley leaves
1 T garlic salt


Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Wash potatoes and cut into fries. (I leave the skin on)
Place the potatoes into a bowl with cold water; this will help keep the fries crisp and white. Just before cooking, drain water and place on paper towel, pat dry completely. Put in a bowl; add olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well and lay out in 1 layer on nonstick baking sheets. Bake until light brown. Cook for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently until golden brown. Less time if you made yours thin.

Remove from oven. Add lemon zest, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss well and ENJOY!
