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!

I make over fries a lot, and this is a nice spice mix. I always use a stone tray to make the fries. Preheat it with the over, and make sure there isn’t excess oil. Flip wedges halfway through cooking. Fries come out really crispy on the stone.
I’m totally addicted to these fries! They grace our menu at least once a week. I was a little worried they were going to end up tasting like a taco because of the cumin and chili pepper.. but no.. just deliciousness. <3 <3 <3 I will never buy frozen fries again!!!
TODAY I DID STEAK FRIES AT WORK AND THEY CAME OUT GOOD AND EVEYBODY LOVED THEM THANK YOU
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I STARTED COOKING AND I HAVE TO MAKE THIS ON MY MENU HOPE IT COMES OUT GOOD I’LL LET YOU KNOW THANKS
My family and I loved these! Way better than anything from the grocer’s freezer aisle! Went with the original recipe. Trying the garlic version today. Used my crinkle cutter for fun crinkly fries!
They turned out great! Just a little too salty. I’ll cut down on the garlic salt next time.
What do you think the difference between the crumpled foil and parchment paper is? I've been leaning towards parchment before foil lately.. just wondering if it will affect the crunchiness.
Made these tonight with the fauxtisserie chicken. They were awesome! I made the originalrecipe. They were crispy and flavorful on the outside and soft on the inside. Will definitely be making them again. A huge hit with my 4 kids as well.
Ah-ha! Now I know what fry sauce is! Thanks Sara. Can't wait to try this.
