Day 56: Oven Baked French Fries (fail).

Pinterest pin and website link.

I've never had much success in making oven fries, and still haven't...!  

Instructions:
Soak 2-3 sliced russet potatoes in hot tap water for 15-30 minutes.  

Preheat oven to 475 degrees.  Grease the bottom of a baking sheet with canola oil.  Drain potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.  Mix with 2-3 tablespoons of canola oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.  Cover baking sheet with foil and bake for 5 minutes.  Remove foil and bake for an additional 14-18 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.  Flip the potatoes and bake for another 3-4 minutes.  

Verdict: fail.  I feel like my oven usually cooks things pretty evenly, but this was a disaster -- some fries were burnt, others were barely cooked and most were stuck securely to the pan.
