1. They were cut too small. I usually cut potatoes in half, then each
half into 4 wedges for oven fries.

2. 400 deg. is too hot. 350 for ~45 minutes will cook them through w/o
overcooking the outside.

3. Toss with your favorite oil, spread on baking sheet (I use aluminum
foil) sprinkle with your favorite spice mix, and bake.

They don't taste like French fries, but they are really tasty.
Sweet potatoes are even better cooked the same way.
