Almost as good as fried, but they are oven fried.
Russet potatoes make the best fries, waxy potatoes do not get the same result.
Peel or not, your choice. Slice your potatoes and soak in a pan of hot water for about 15 min.
Drain and wrap in a clean dish cloth. Then place on a paper towel and pat as dry as possible. Place them in a bowl and toss with oil of your choice.
Season them the way you like and place them on a baking sheet sprayed with Pam.
Preheat oven to 425 or 450, and bake till golden brown, flipping half way through.
Use a good pan, a thin cookie sheet might get bent out of shape! :)
This recipe is pretty much how I do it!

Serve them with a cheeseburger and I will be your best friend forever!
For dessert some Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding.I am not a fan of bread pudding, but I had some homemade cinnamon raisin bread to use up.
Put some whipped cream on top, and dig in!
It helps if you serve it in a cute little Irish ramekin. :) From Christmas Tree Shop, of course!
I used half and half and threw a few chopped apples in also. Recipe here.
Those ramekins will reappear Tuesday in the "Who threw the overalls in Mrs . Murphy's Chowder ? " table for the 4th Annual St. Patrick's Blog Crawl and Blogaversary here on TUESDAY.
Post will be up by noon on the 13th!. TUESDAY
Prizes and more prizes, so I hope you will come celebrate with me!
What should you post?
Well, it has to be new, please don't rerun your post from last year.

A recipe, a table, vignette, as long as it has something to do with the color du jour, GREEN!
Looking forward to you joining in!
A special THANK YOU to all of you posted my party button Leprechaun in your side bar so others would know about the crawl. I do appreciate it!

Love your little St. Pat's cupcake dish! I'm looking for a year-round one for my kosher salt, I think that would be cute! I'm all set for your party:@)
ReplyDeleteFrench fries are one of my favorite things to eat and I'm going to try your recipe. They look De-licious! I'll be at the blog crawl with my shamrock socks on.
ReplyDeleteI make oven fries all the time..but I just cut them randomly..I really should take a little more time and cut them into french fries. Love them..we put herbs on ours too. Can't wait till the Crawl..will be fun...I have a new tablecloth for St. Paddy's to share with my dishes.
ReplyDeleteYour cinnamon bread pudding looks delicious!
See you Tuesday!
Miss Bloomers
Oh yum! The fries look so good, you'd never know they weren't fried. I have to try these.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to work on a new tablescape for your party or a vignette! Excited to blog crawl for St Pat's Day! Love those little ramekins! Cute!!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
Kathleen, I'd like a few of those fries. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the little cupcake dish. You've given me an idea as to how I can use my two. See you on Tuesday. ~ Sarah
Hi Kathleen, I am hoping to be at the party but I have a houseful right now--maybe I'll send them out to walk Mr. Fun this afternoon and I'll have a little break! Those fries look good. I'm serving hamburgers for lunch to the crowd so I could add those! Linda
ReplyDeleteFries look great, I'd never guess they were baked. Hey, save the McDonald fries container and serve it with the fish sandwich. Looking forward to your party.
ReplyDeleteIt is 7:30 in the morning here and now I want a cheeseburger and fries. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of bread pudding either. I swear, we are related from another time in life!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the details on how you did the potatoes. I shall try them soon, as we're both trying so hard to cut back on fats.
I'm excited about your party & not just because of all the neat give-aways... I had so many "GREEN" photos, that I had to do 2 posts ahead of time, so as not to overload folks on Tues. LOL
Now, I'm off to take MORE pictures, as the SUN IS SHINING!! Yippee!!
Hugs,
Rett
I am a bread and pudding fan and I totally love your little green ramekin. I think I need to find some green....my dish is lacking in the designated color! LOL
ReplyDeletethose fries look as good as the real thing so I will be trying them. Glad I read about your blog crawl...I'm gonna think up something to post about St Pat's Day and try to join in.
ReplyDeleteThe fries look so good..I've baked sweet potatoe fries before using the same instructions..will try the russets.
ReplyDeleteBread pudding is not a fav either but my Mom made it every once in ahile for the ones who did like it.
Looking forward to all the posts on Tuesday.
You make everything look so delicious...Looking forward to your Blog Crawl!
