Roasted Rosemary French Fries

French fries are really only good when they're crunchy and usually the only way to make them crunchy involves frying them (twice actually).  

Problem is, I am slightly afraid of heating up oil on the stove and I don't have a deep fryer.  In the past when I've put a big pot of oil on the stove, I haven't gotten to it early enough and before I know it, the house is full of smoke, alarms are going off, and I can't breathe. 

I know I could put a thermometer in the pot avoid this whole situation, but instead I opted for roasting my french fries and luckily, they ended up even crunchier than the fried version!
