Oven Fries, not just for kids!

I love French fries, what sane person doesn’t? From what I’m told though, they’re not all that healthy for you.

Shocking right?

I mean aren’t potatoes a veggie after all?

Since I threw out my deep fryer a number of years ago I needed to find a way to make some good French fries that weren’t actually fried. That’s where my oven came in handy. Cut up a nice large russet potato, toss it with some olive oil and spice and pop it in the oven for a healthier version of the tasty side.

Oven Fries

Ingredients
1 medium to large russet potato per person
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Cumin
Rosemary
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 and place a rack in the highest position.
Scrub and dry each of your potatoes.
Cut into sticks by cutting each potato in half. Cut each half into 1/4 inch slices, cut each slices into 1/4 inch sticks.
Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. You don’t need a ton, just enough so the spices will stick. Sprinkle on a good pinch of salt, a few grinds of black pepper, a little bit of cumin, lots of garlic powder and some rosemary. The amounts are really up to you.
Bake in your oven for at least 45 mins. Give them a stir about halfway through so that they brown evenly. It may take longer if the potatoes are cut thicker.
