I love french fries but know they are not the best for you so how do you cook french...

Cut them evenly. Toss w/ mild veg oil (EVOO, safflower, canola, whatever) and spread into 1 layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 400ºF for about 30-45 min (depends upon how thick you cut them). Season w/ S&P as soon as you pull them from the oven.
 
You can do this a number of ways :)

My favorite way is as follows:

First, peel the potato. After peeling it, cut it up into french-fry shaped pieces (or you can do squares, etc.. whatever you'd like!)

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss your "fries" inside of it.

Put your fries on a greased pan in the oven at a pre-heated temperature of 350 and bake for 30-45 minutes.
 
I do wedges, with whatever herbs you like. Cut each russet in half, then into 5 long parts. Drizzle over some olive oil, just enough to barely coat, season as desired


Preheat oven to 425ºF with a baking sheet in the oven.

Pull the hot sheet pan out of the oven, drizzle EVOO over it, scatter the potatoes and grill seasoning on top and return them to the oven. Roast the potatoes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 40 minutes.
