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" 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 .
I use Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe, but white or red potatoes work just as well.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!
- 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.
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
