Baked Seasoned Fries


Kaleb requested Chicken Nuggets for dinner tonight, so I decided to try these to go with it. I love home baked oven fries and these are super good. Mine were starting to get crispy, but since the chicken was already done, I didn't wait till they were totally crispy. No matter, they were still good, and probably even BETTER when they are totally crispy. I found this recipe and the picture at skinnytaste, just click on the title. She has the recipe for the dip in the picture, but since I forgot all about the dip, I decided it wouldn't be good for me to post. I will try it the next time I make these. Believe it or not, there is no salt on these. WOW! I didn't even miss it.

Skinny Baked Seasoned Fries with Garlic Aioli

2 medium potatoes, russet or yukon gold, washed and dried
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp herbs de provence (or use a combo of dried rosemary, thyme, marjoram)
1/4 tsp oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp fresh cracked pepper
fresh lime zest

Preheat oven to 400°. Line baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up. Lightly coat with cooking spray.

Cut each potato lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices; cut each slice into 1/4 inch fries.
In a large bowl, combine cut potatoes and oil; toss well. Add rosemary, thyme, garlic and seasoning. Toss to coat.

Place in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes or until tender crisp, turning once half way through. Remove from oven. (I had mine in for 30 minutes and could have been in there longer if I had the patience.)
