Oven Steak Fries

Ah, 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.

I got the original recipe from a girl I went to church with and, man, she had a lot of really yummy recipes for the skinny little thing she was! Then my friend Lisa mentioned the idea of using garlic salt, so I invented my own little garlicky peppery version. Over the years, I’ve tried lots of different flavor combinations, so just try some of them out and see what you love!
 
You’ll need 4 medium russet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and whatever spices you choose (see the notes in the printable recipe below.)
