BYAh, french fries. The devil’s starchy fingers, as Mrs. Kim calls them. Fortunately for your heart, this recipe is actually healthy–you’re using the whole potato, including the nutritious skins, as well as coating them in some olive oil before baking them rather than deep-frying them. Of course, they’re still salty and, at least at my house, meet up with a little fry sauce at some point, but I try. I really do.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Mix spices and olive oil and set aside. Cut potatoes into 8 wedges each and place in a medium mixing bowl.
Add seasonings and olive oil to the potato wedges…
toss to coat. Arrange the potato wedges on the foil, trying to keep them from touching if you can help it.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces–ketchup, fry sauce, aioli, honey mustard, Sriracha, ranch dressing, malt vinegar, basically whatever you love!

Hello! These look fabulous and I cannot wait to make them. But…what is "fry sauce" and do you have a recipe for it? Thanks! (PS: your recipes rock…I'm newly married and thus new to cooking–your blog has been so helpful)
Looking forward to trying these yummy fries! I LOVE that you quoted "Gilmore Girls". Love that Mrs. Kim!!
I made these for dinner a few days ago and they were awesome! I went with the garlic pepper ones because I like the crunchiness on the outside and the warm, soft goodness on the inside. I accidentally used a Tbsp. instead of a tsp. so I just tripled all of the seasoning ingredients and now have 2 more bags of seasoning ready to go for future use. Thanks a bunch!
I tried these last week, and they are sooooo good. I only wish I made more. These will definitely be one of the “regulars” in my home. YUM.
Boy am I glad I found your blog! I’ll be trying these delicious looking fries tonight!
We eat these all the time! I will have to try the foil trick next time I make them.
These are the prettiest fries I have ever seen. I want to reach through the computer screen and eat it! I’m really excited to make these.
These are also good if you want to put fresh parmesan cheese with the garlic. YUMMY!
Ya know, I think the crumpled foil tip is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Before you told me that, my fries ALWAYS stuck to the foil and lost the yummy crunchy part when I peeled them off. I’ll love you forever for re-crunching my fries 🙂
Those look so good, I’m going to try them.
