Steps:

ROSEMARY OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.

CRISPY OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place potatoes in bowl, wrap tightly with plastic, and microwave until translucent around edges, 3 to 5 minutes, shaking bowl to redistribute potatoes halfway through cooking. Transfer potatoes to cooling rack and thoroughly blot fry with paper towels.
• Coat rimmed baking sheet with 5 tablespoons oil. Transfer to oven and heat until just smoking, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk remaining oil, cornstarch, and salt in large bowl. Add potatoes to bowl and toss to coat.

CRISPY OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes well and leave skins on.
• Halve each the long way, then cut each half into quarters to make 8 steak fry shapes.
• Smaller potatoes can be cut into quarters.
• Put potatoes into a large bowl and add dry soup mix and the oil.
• You made need more or less oil depending on size of potatoes.
• Mix all very well with a large spoon.
• Spray a large broiler pan or large flat cooking pan with cooking spray.
• Spread potatoes so that they are only in one layer on the pan.
• Place in 400 degree oven for 1 hour.
• IMPORTANT: These need to be stirred every 15 minutes to keep them from sticking to the pan and to ensure even crisping.

• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; pour a small amount of oil onto foil and spread with a paper towel.
• Peel potatoes and slice into french fry shapes.

• While the potatoes are baking, zest the lime and cut it into a few wedges.
• When the potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the oven, taste, and adjust the seasoning. Add more salt and pepper to taste (don't skimp on the pepper!).
• Serve in a big shallow bowl, or on a platter, drizzled with lime juice and dusted with the lime zest and Parmesan.
