The Best Skinny Fries

4 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Paprika to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch sticks and place in a bowl of ice water to crisp. Drain and pat dry on paper towels. Arrange sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with oil. Shake pan to coat potatoes with oil. Bake in the oven until golden brown and tender, for 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently. Sprinkle with salt and paprika.
