I must admit- I did cheat on these and use the full-fat mayo. The flavor was really nice, but I found that the mayo prevented them from crisping well. Like other reivewers, I did find it problematic to get the cheese to stick to the fries and I ended up with a fair amount of cheese burnt onto the pan (luckily, it was lined as directed, so it wasn't a problem!) I thought the flavor was good, but despite cooking mine longer than directed, they still were a little soft (like baked potato texture). Thanks for a nice oven fry recipe, Geema.

This is a recipe that uses ingredients I always have on hand. It was fairly easy to prepare. I cut my potatoes into thinner pieces because we like them crisp. I also put about a third of the slices into a plastic bag and topped them with about a third of the mayo and squished them around until coated. I repeated with the rest of the potatoes. I sprinkled mine with seasoing salt and garlic, then topped with parmesan cheese. Then I separated them on the pan for even cooking. I baked them about 20 minutes, turned them then baked a bit longer until nice and brown. These are very tasty potatoes! Thanks for sharing your recipe Geema!

I enjoyed these oven fries very much, I cut the recipe back for one potato, had a hangering for fries and was on my own tonight. I had a little trouble keeping the cheese on the fries and the cheese burned a little on some of them. The taste was great and I will try them again, perhaps next time I will add the cheese about half way through cooking them. They were nice and crispy on the outside and soft inside. Thanks for sharing.

You should have seen the look on my husband's face when I said I was making cheese fries! He thought his low-fat eating wife had lost her mind! But I used only about 1/8th of a cup of fat free mayo and these were excellent. These are not your ooey gooey cheese fries. Instead they are nice fries with a good cheesy taste. After devouring them dh said he thought they were too salty; as many as he ate I don't think he minded much!

Wonderful! Nice and crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the inside! Great taste! Thanks Geema! I did bake mine just about 10 mins. longer.
