Great recipe, I will make these whenever I want fries. I've had problems inthe past with oven fries because to me they were more like a wedge of baked potato. I think your method of baking these are perfect, as was the amount of seasoning. I used another reviewer's suggestion and did spray the aluminum foil with cooking spray and the fries did not stick.

I live in Idaho so I figured I BETTER get this recipe right ha ha! And I think I did! They are simply awesome! I loved not having to peel the potatoes. I only used one potato, cut it into 8 equal parts (almost equal!) & followed the recipe pretty closely. Really crispy outside like I love. Hubby even compared them to the fries at "Big Juds"--an Idaho CLASSIC restaurant! It's a keeper & thank you for sharing!!!!

I am a working mom of a beautiful little girl Keira Lynn. Watching her grow has been such a joy!
My husband and I were married in May of 2006 on the beautiful island of Kauai.
Since discovering this site, I have been cooking much more and have found some incredible recipes. I absolutely love to cook and try out new recipes, but have a handful of family favorites that I make quite often. My husband loves to cook as much as I do. To avoid anyone monopolizing the kitchen, we have to designate who gets to cook dinner in advance. He specializes in Asian cuisine and I love trying new healthy recipes.
