Oven Baked Fries is one of those mix and dump recipes that everyone has in the back of their mind. This recipe is so easy, too, with only 4 simple ingredients.
I’ve found that baking fries this way is just as good as deep fat fried. And less fattening, too.
When I make my own fries, I sometimes want thin fries. Or curly ones. Sometimes I prefer large fries, or even fries that are cut into wedges–like a fancy steakhouse. What we’re going for here are the fancy wedges.
You can cut your own with a knife and cutting board. For this I would suggest either a chef’s knife or a Santoku Knife.
Or, if you have a large family and everyone really likes fries, then you might want to consider investing in a French Fry Cutter. Like this one by New Star Food Service, which is made of heavy cast iron and stainless steel. I own a cheap version of this that I bought for $25, which I cannot recommend. It is hard to use and some of the spacers have broken. Invest in a good one!
When it comes to potatoes, Russet potatoes are pretty standard to use for French Fries. But I also like using Yikon Gold potatoes.
Sometimes, I will add grated Parmesan and chopped parsley at the halfway point, when I stir the potatoes. This is a delicious addition when you want something a bit more special for your dinner.
I prefer using Olive Oil rather than a vegetable oil, to give the potatoes more flavor. And olive oil is a healthier alternative.
This recipe goes well with many dishes. I like these fries with Sloppy Joes, Hamburgers, Sirloin Steak, or Easy BBQ Chicken Bites.
