This is my favourite video on how to made homemade French fries. The trick is to

1. cut them

2. place them in cold water for 30 minutes

3. drain them and pat them dry with a cloth

4. Bake them at 475F for 30 minutes

5. Mix them in a bowl with salt, pepper, and oil

Extra tip: Making homemade ketchup may be a cheaper and healthier option than store bought.

As well, if you're too lazy for fries but want potatoes. If they're small enough, don't even bother cutting them:

1. Wash them

2. Throw them in a pot of boiiing water for a few minutes until they are soft when you can easily punture them with a fork.

3. Then drain them and add whatever garnish, oil, you want.

If the water is cold, you could give the water to your garden outside.
