Notes
Typically a rule of thumb for potatoes is one per person but these are so good you might want to do more than that!
If you do not have a mandolin you can cut the potatoes to size with a knife and cutting board. This will work just as well.
If the fries are not as crispy as you'd like after baking, set them to broil for about 5 minutes. This will crisp them right up!
The oil and salt measurements can be adjusted to your desired taste.
Lard and coconut oil will produce crispier fries. However, you can also use butter or avocado oil. I don't recommend olive oil because of the high heat temps in the oven. If you like the taste of olive oil it can be added after the fries have been removed from the oven.
