Default Flunked baked french fries.

Decided to use up a few russet potatoes and cook up baked french fries.
Never tried it before.

The potato cutter cut 3/8" fries very quickly. I put some partchment
paper in a cookie sheet and sprayed it with Pam and dumped and arranged
the fries. Placed in a 400 F. oven for about 40 minutes.

For the most part they were overcooked on the outside and soft or undone
inside.

I didn't season them before or after.

I also didn't turn them over, just rattled the pan every 10 minutes or
so. Any fries that touched during baking were very underdone.

The flavor was a little unremarkable.

I ate about five and called it a failure.

What a waste. I should've made mashed potatoes.
