directions

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position in the oven. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Cut the potatoes lengthwise into eights to form wedges. Toss the potatoes with the oil on a heavy baking sheet or jelly-roll pan, and arrange them flat in a single layer.
  • Bake the potatoes without turning, until the bottoms are golden and crisp, about 20 minutes; turn potatoes to the other side. Bake 10 minutes more until crisp. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  1. These were great! So simple and good. I was a little afraid of putting them on the bottom rack but so glad that I tried it. They came out perfect - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Thanks Amber Dawn for a nice keeper. Made for Cookbook Tag.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. Simple! Delicious! Healthy! What more could you ask for? I did add a bit more salt but otherwise followed the recipe as written. Don't forget to spray your cookie sheet with nonstick spray otherwise they'll stick like glue!
     
  4. Can't sat that I used Idaho spuds but I did use good Canadian russets and got really grand "fries". Sometimes you really want the good basic article and that's what you get here, a delicious, seasoned, recipe that lets you enjoy the taste of the potato. The perfect side for tonight's burgers. :D
     
  5. 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!!!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

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. <a href="http://www.snugglepie.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.snugglepie.com/ezb/718035.png"></a>
