  • 4 med Idaho or Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt

Several hours before cooking the potatoes, put them into the refrigerator (chilling will facilitate browning). Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place a baking sheet on the center oven rack to heat.

When read to cook, scrub the potatoes but do not peel. Cut each potato into sticks about 1/2 inch wide. Rince well under cold water. Pat dry with paper towells.

Put the potatoes into abwol and drizzle the olive oil over them. Sprinkle with salt and paprika. Mix well to coat the potatoes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spray lightly with cooking spray. Spread the potatoes in a single layer.

Bake 15 minutes, turn with a spatula and continue baking about 10-15 minutes longer, or until browned and cooked through. Serves 4-6.
