Oven Baked Fries
Healthier oven baked fries made from scratch. These fries are properly seasoned, then baked in the oven until crispy from the outside, and soft and fluffy from the inside.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (450 g) potatoes cut into ½ inch slices or wedges
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or granules
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or corn oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F), or 160°C if using a fan oven.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with the seasonings, salt, and oil until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Then lay the potatoes on a baking tray, try to leave some space between the slices so they don't overlap.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the fries are crispy enough. Flipping the fries every 10 minutes so they're evenly cooked.

Notes
- I recommend using high starch potatoes such as russets (Idaho), Maris Piper, and King Edward. Avoid starchy and red-skin potatoes.
- Slice the potatoes into ½ inch thick fries using a sharp knife or a mandoline.
- I recommend using olive oil for the best flavor and crispiness.
- More seasoning options: Go for Italian seasoning for that lovely herby flavor. You can also use curry powder, turmeric, chili powder, piri piri salt, cajun seasoning, jerk seasoning, shawarma seasoning, or keep things simple and just season with salt.
