I love this recipe.
It is simple, easy and adaptable.
Love it!
Can you smell the deliciousness?!
*deep breath in*
Heaven I tell you. Heaven.
For me these fries are more than fries. They're more than hot, fragrant, yum-yum-in-my-tum potato fries. They're a side that my whole family can eat. Hallelujah! There seem to be fewer and fewer foods we can all eat as a family. We have many food allergies. Argh. But the mighty potato has always been a friend. *smile* Baking the fries also gives me peace of mind over deep frying. I'm giving my kids something they love in a healthier way. It is also saves on money verses deep frying (the cost of oil). And it definitely saves us money verses buying them from the store or a fast food joint.

Potato Fries.
Are you ready to enjoy all the deliciousness?
Here's how:
the Best-Ever Oven Fries
Ingredients
7 Potatoes (tennis-ball-size)
1 tbsp Cooking Oil (We use Canola oil)
1/2 tbsp Salt
A couple dashes Herbs/Spice (optional - choose your favorite )
How To
1. Wash potatoes. Remove any eyes or bad spots. You can peel your potatoes or leave the skin on. Most often we make skin-on potato fries.
2. Cut the potatoes into fries. I find the easiest way is to cut the potato in half then cut the half into three or four strips.
3. Preheat oven to 425 F.
4. In a bowl, toss the cut fries with the oil, salt and herbs/spices. Our favorite spice to use is paprika. We sometimes add pepper, garlic or dried parsley. Try different herbs/spices to jazz up your oven fries and complement your meal.
5. Turn out fries onto a lined baking sheet. We use a washable silicone liner, but you can also use wax paper or parchment paper.
6. Bake at 425 F for 45 minutes. Flip the fries every 15 minutes to ensure even browning on each side. Fries can be cooked for up to 1 hour. This will add crispiness. Any longer and they will be hard and crunchy.
7. If you have other foods to cook in the oven, slide them in above the fries. The fries will still crisp very well. Our favorite is to have chicken and cubed squash with our oven fries.
