17. Arrange the fries onto the baking tray, spread them out to ensure they don't overcrowd.
18. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, carefully turning them over halfway until they are golden brown (keep a watchful eye on them incase some brown quicker than others).
19. Once done remove from the oven and serve accordingly.
