Oven Roasted Potato Fries Recipes

OVEN ROASTED POTATO 'FRIES'

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the potatoes into nice thick 'handcut fry slices' put in a large bowl and cover with cold water. You can do this in advance if you want - for up to 24 hours. It helps to remove the excess starch. Drain the potatoes and pat dry on paper towel. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake until tender and golden crispy outside, about 40 minutes. When out of the oven, hit them with some dashes of steak spice.

OVEN BAKED CRISPY POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 550 degrees (or as high as your oven goes).
• Halve each potato, then cut each half in 5 slices lengthwise. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle the olive oil over them, work the potatoes around in the oil until evenly coated.
• Season with the rosemary, salt, pepper and red pepper. (I recommend LOTS of salt and I'm not big on super salty foods.) Throw the garlic cloves on the sheet with the potatoes.
• Roast 25 minutes. Make sure to turn them all once at the halfway point or they will end up sticking to the baking sheet.

BONNIE'S BEST OVEN BAKED FRIES AND POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• 1. OVEN: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Baking time is 35 minutes. No need to turn the fries! MAKING OVEN FRIES: Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray if you are using a regular cookie sheet. I use an Aire Gourmet baking sheet, and if you like these fries, it is worth the investment of buying one. Because olive oil does not smoke at high temperatures when using this baking sheet, and the fries are a gorgeous golden brown. (I prefer to use parchment paper, which I don't grease, and it makes the removal of the fries a snap to prepare from oven to serving bowl.)
• 2. Soak the cut potatoes in ice water for at least 30 minutes. Don't skip this step as it makes them crisp.
• 3. Blot cut potatoes on a clean tea towel to remove moisture.
• 4. Combine all dry ingredients in a plastic bag.
• 5. Add potatoes tossing and kneading lightly to coat.
• 6. Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil. Tossing and kneading again to coat.
• 7. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
• 8. Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown. No need to turn potatoes during cooking. Be sure to check them often to see how they are doing. Remove any potatoes into a paper towel-lined bowl that get done early so they don't get overdone. I also like to use parchment paper for easy cleanup! Enjoy!
• 9. Here is how they look!
• 10. MAKING POTATO WEDGES: Prepare your potatoes as you would for oven fries, except cut your potatoes into wedges and, follow the rest of the steps in the recipe. When it comes time to bake the wedges, put them on parchment paper to bake and allow a few minutes extra to make sure they are done. No need to turn during baking. Enjoy!
• 11. Cook's Tip: Don't throw out the leftover fries, or wedges! Wrap them in tinfoil and refrigerate. Leftover fries and wedges make great tasting eggs! Here is how I make mine. Chop up the leftover fries or wedges and lightly brown them in a little olive oil, turn them over and grate a little cheese over the hot potatoes. I use about 1 tablespoon sharp cheddar. Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet and add two eggs, scramble them and gently fold into the potatoes, cook a minute and flip them over, cook one minute more and turn out onto a plate. Add salt and pepper if desired. Good eating! Enjoy!
• 12. Update! Newest Version: When I am in a hurry, and we need potatoes really fast for a meal, I zap a large potato with peeling on in the microwave until almost done, then I cut it into chunks. I use a cast iron skillet and put olive oil in it, not much, put in the taters and season them with the same seasonings as the fries (except the Parmesan cheese because it scorches). As soon as they are nicely browned, I remove them to a stainless steel bowl (it keeps them hot) and toss them with the Parmesan cheese. Voila! You have delicious "roasted" potatoes with your meal. Great with bacon and eggs, too!
