Posted as one of the best fries ever (well, that's implied in the post), I had to make them. I had all the ingredients on hand and was making pulled-pork barbecue sandwiches for dinner. Perfect. Plus, I like when you leave the peels on the potatoes. Not only are the peels good for you but that means I don't have to peel them!!! Also, these fries are baked, not fried! They're way more guilt free than those you'd buy and eat at say ... McDonalds. Just don't tell your husband that they're "good for you" or "healthy" though! :)
Oven Baked Parmesan Seasoned Fries
NOTE: The amounts listed are for every one pound of fries. One pound of fries is the equivelant of appoximately 3 medium potatoes. (I just double or triple the recipe to fit within my needs).
Ingredients:
1 pound of medium russet potatoes (approx 3 medium potatoes)
1 1/2 TBSP of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
1/4 tsp Dried Oregano
1/8 tsp Dried Rosemary
1/4 tsp of Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp of Old Bay Seasoning (I didn't have any so I omitted this ingredient. Would probably taste even better with this)
2 TBSP of Kraft Parmesan Style Grated Cheese (I used reduced fat)
Directions:
*Preheat oven to 425.
*Wash and cut potatoes into 1/8ths.
*Place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with foil (You can use Reynolds Release foil so that they will not stick, but you could also either use non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease the top of the foil with extra virgin olive oil. Soooo important to do this! Otherwise, they WILL stick).
*Mix all of the spices and the parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
*In another large bowl, place all of the potatoes (remember we are talking about one pound at a time) and add olive oil and the parmesan cheese/spice mixture to the bowl.
*Coat all the potatoes with the seasoning.
*Once thoroughly coated dump onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread in a single layer.
* Bake 30-45 minutes or until tender and lightly golden brown. (Baking times will vary depending on the amount of fries that you make and the size that you cut them).

And the after:
Consensus: Pretty good. I think had we had Old Bay, they would have been better but I plan on still make these again. Even if we don't have Old Bay.
