Chipotle oven fries

Cut a flat side on the potato for stability, then cut lengthways and lengthways again into fry-shaped strips.

Precook in the microwave four and a half minutes until bendy and cooked in the center (or parboil a couple of minutes).

Toss well with cornstarch for a coating that crisps, then salt, pepper and chipotle powder.

Spread about a teaspoon of oil on a pan and lay the fries out not touching, so they crisp rather than turn mushy.

Bake in a hot 500 degree oven about six minutes, flip, and bake about five more, roughly ten minutes total.
