Oven "Fries"

From EatingWell: May/June 1993

Coated with olive oil and baked in a hot oven, these fries are soft and buttery inside and crisp on the outside—the perfect combination.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I use sea salt, ground pepper, garlic powder and onion powder on mine. Sometimes I add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use Emeril's Essence Seasoning. This is the only way we make fries any more! "

Great flavor, too tender

These came out with a very good flavor, but for some reason I couldn't get them crispy, even after putting them in the oven for extra time. There were a few crispy edges, but that was it. I still liked them, but couldn't convince my kids that they were french fries!

Very tasty, not dry has a crunch to it.

I cut my fries small like a resturant I put olive oil onion power, pepper on the fries. They came out tender, a tad bit crispy not much favor since I didn't use salt.

Pros: very easy and quick to cook.

You can't rate them a 3 star

You can't rate them a 3 star if you didn't follow one of the important parts of the recipe. Unfortunately, even In&Out Fries don't taste right without the salt.

Recommends this recipe

Have made fries like this for a while now. Any potato, white, red, sweet, will do. Usually toss potato with oil only then spread on baking pan. Sprinkle potatoes with whatever seasoning you want. Herbes de Provence is one of our favorites.

Pros: Easy

I nuke the potatoes for a minute or two to "parcook" them, then into the oven to finish - cuts oven time down to about five minutes!

To make it neat, I put a bit of oil in a lightweight zipperlock bag, and sprinkle in my spices (use your imagination - lots of fun here!), and "mush it around" to mix it all up ... then dump in the potatoes, blow some air into the bag and seal it - then shake well to evenly coat the potatoes. When done and the potatoes are on a rack in the oven, just throw away the "mess"!

I use Mrs Dash spices on it - no salt added -- makes them even healthier & tastier, in my opinion!!
