After swapping some oven fry recipes with Veganwitch, I thought we should have a thread devoted just to oven fries where we can share our favourite recipes! My apologies if there is already a thread like this: I DID search for one like it, and didn't find anything.
Here's the recipe for what my roommates call my "bomb fries" :D They bug me to make them at least once every couple weeks. They're SO easy, but they only like it when I make them, go figure :rolleyes:.
I use Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe, but white or red potatoes work just as well.
Preheat oven to 475F
Slice potatoes lengthwise into 8 wedges (or more/less, as desired)
put in a bowl and drizzle on some olive oil (or other vegetable oil). I just use guesswork for this, but about 1/4 cup for every 2 potatoes should be enough. Gently stir to coat evenly with oil.
Lightly oil a cookie sheet or lasagna dish. I usually line it with tin foil first to prevent sticking. Place wedges in a single layer on pan and sprinkle with the following (my "5 secret spices" ;)): salt, pepper, paprika, basil, and oregano (or parsley).
Bake about 12 minutes, then flip the wedges and sprinkle again with the 5 spices
Bake another 10-12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and start to look "puffy"
Place on a dish lined with one or two paper towels to drain off excess oil before putting in serving dish.I like to eat them with ketchup and vegenaise. Whenever I make veggie burgers and fries, I never get to the burger because I'm too full from the fries!
If anyone has a different recipe for oven fries, I'd love to hear it! And Veganwitch, you should post your two recipes here as well. I'll let you know how I like them :D
