Homemade Baked Fries

I love fries.  Specifically McDonald's fries.  However, in the interest of eating healthy, I attempted to find a good subsitute.  These fries are baked so that puts them on the semi-healthy category.  The cayenne pepper adds a nice kick so there is no need to use ketchup (although it was difficult to convince Moe of this as he sees fries and has an automatic response to drown them in ketchup and mustard... yes mustard which is gross). I left the fries in the oven a bit longer than the recipe called for as I like mine super crispy.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.  Remove and flip slices.  Place back in the oven for 10 minutes or until desired doneness.  Remove and serve immediately.
