Notes
You can peel the potatoes if you prefer before making these french fries.
You can allow the potatoes to soak overnight as well and bake the next day.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The fries will get soft as you store them so I recommend reheating them in the oven to make them crispy again.
