Baked Potato Fries


I found this recipe here. The original recipe has the potatoes quartered, but I decided to cut them into fries and reduce the cooking time a bit. We had them with the chicken nugget recipe below :)


  • 1 1/4 pounds potatoes scrubbed and rinsed
  • 2tablespoons olive oil
  • 1tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed fine
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Cut each half in half again. Add the potato wedges to a large mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients. (or cut into fries!!) Toss meticulously to coat the potatoes evenly.

Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the potato wedges, skin side down, on the foil. Be sure to space evenly, so they cook uniformly. Bake for 35 minutes, or until well browned, crusty edged, and tender. Serve immediately, sprinkled with more salt if desired.If you are making fries reduce the heat to 410 degrees and bake 30 minutes. I took them out twice to stir around with a spatula.
