Salt to taste
Cut potatoes and put in large tupperware. Add olive oil and shake to coat. Spread in single layer on cookie sheet. Bake for about 30-40 minutes at 425-450 degrees. Flip once during cooking. The time depends on the size of your fries. Continue cooking until brown and crispy on both sides!
