Baked French Fries

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, 1/4 tsp salt, and sugar with enough cold water to cover. Soak for 15 minutes; drain and blot dry.

3. In another large bowl, toss potatoes with oil and paprika. Place in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake, turning potatoes as they brown, until cooked through and crisp, about 45 minutes.

4. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Serve immediately.
