oven roasted home fries

January 13, 2011

i have to admit- french fries are a guilty pleasure of mine. however, it’s been years since i’ve allowed myself to eat them out, especially from a fast food joint. in fact, i think the last time i had french fries from a drive through was right after my junior prom in high school (i’m sure my date loved that). SO, i tend to make them often at home! baked, not fried. though i usually use a simpler method (nothing but olive oil, rosemary and salt), i tried something new this week and they turned out really yummy. here’s the recipe!

oven roasted home fries

ingredients:

  • 5-6 potatoes, halved, quartered then sliced into wedges
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika

 

directions:

preheat oven to 425°f. place potato wedges in a large bowl and toss with olive oil. combine flour and spices then toss with the potatoes until well covered. place in a single layer on a lightly greased pan and bake until golden brown; about 30 mins. enjoy!

  • yum!

    also great with sweet potatoes.

  • i am a french frie nut as well … but i also eat them fast food (i can’t lie i love them too much) … i have this problem that if i’m eating at a restaurant that serves them i need to have them. it’s a compulsion thing.

    i tried baking them once before but it didn’t work out so well for me … but i will totally try your recipe!
