Oven-Baked Potato Fries

This is a simple potato wedge recipe that's a favorite around our house. Rather than spreading the potato wedges on the baking sheet and drizzling the oil and adding the spices, I'll put everything into a Ziploc bag. I'll shake it until the oil and spices are evenly distributed and then pour then onto the baking pan.

The cooking time was just right. I did cut my potatoes into 8 wedges each, so they were a little smaller wedges. I used grape seed oil instead of olive oil. Tip: peel the potatoes and place in cold water. Cut them into wedges and then back into the cold water. Drain & DRY thoroughly, then coat with oil and seasoning.

Needed 20 minutes more....and lots of salt.

We really liked these oven fries. I had smaller potatoes and cut each into 9 wedges. I really didn't think that the thyme would add anything to the fries and I was so wrong. I followed Baking Nana's advice and put the potatoes into water after peeling and then again after cutting. I did cut the recipe back by half but otherwise followed it as written. Great, simple recipe and so easy. I am really looking forward to trying the sweet potato version. Thanks for sharing. Update: I made the sweet potato version today. The cinnamon didn't appeal to me so I used 1/2 tsp each salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Great flavour but I found that they didn't crisp up as much as the white version. Definitely a keeper.

I sprinkled half the tray with white white pepper and the other half with black pepper and accompanied it with oven baked chicken

I placed the wedges in my microwave dry for 7 Min, let them cool, then followed instructions to the (T). They were Great.

So easy to make and by far the best homemade fries I have ever had. Hubby loved these.

The whole family loves this recipe and it’s become a staple. Don’t skip the thyme, it adds a great flavor. I toss them in parmesan cheese right before I serve them.

These come really out very tasty. I keep them in the oven even longer because I like them very crispy.

I made these to go with my tuna burgers. These were very simple and easy to fix. The only things I did differently were to cut the potatoes in 8 - 10 wedges depending on size. I was aiming for cooked through and crispiness. And I tossed the wedges in a bowl with the oil and the spices and tossed til evenly distributed. The cook time was good for this. And I didn’t use cheese.

My granddaughter helped me make these fries tonight. I left the skin on the potatoes, sliced to 1/4 inch fries, put them all in a medium bowl, added the spices and olive oil. They baked up delicious.

It was very easy to make. They were very delicious! Instead of putting them on the pan and adding the ingredients I put them in a bowl and added all the ingredients and mixed it all up! I recommend this recipe!

Followed the recipe exactly. The best oven-baked fries I have ever had. Easy to do and will be making them again.

These are really good and soooo easy. i include one more step which i believe makes them even crispier. soak your cut fries first for 15-30 mins in cold water. drain, blot and dry as much as possible, then season and proceed. YUMMY!

the kids love these!

I used oregano instead of thyme and it tasted great.

Easy recipe with great results. I pealed the taters and used olive oil. I will make again.

These were really simple and tasty. They make a good sized serving. We made half and it was plenty for the four of us. Did not add cheese at the end but will try next time.

The best potato wedge recipe ever!

Tasted great! I didn't use cheese either time I made it and we didn't miss it.

Didn't have thyme used basil. Delicious!

We will Def make this again. So easy. Seasoned just enough. .

easy and delicious

I liked this recipe, it cooked really well. The only thing I did different was I used coconut for the oil.

Good recipe but I followed to a T but my fries stuck to the pan and then when I used the spatula it scraped off the fries and left to bottoms stuck to the pan and basically I have slivers of mashed potatoes now. Any advice?

I sprinkled smoked paprika over top just before they went in the oven. Also increased cooking tome by 15 minutes. Kosher salted when they came out of the oven, Tasted delicious!!
