Oven Fries

Submitted by Hootenanny

"I adapted this recipe on allrecipes posted by Barbara Harris. I like it because it's easy and takes approx. 30 mins. to bake. I don't like alot of seasonings on my fries, so I omit the cayenne. No fuss, no muss. They do not, however, turn out really golden and crispy if you are looking for this result."

Nice fries. I added a little Cajun seasoning to go along with our Cajun burgers and they were a real hit. Thanks for sharing. Made for What's on the Menu tag.

Great! I doubled the oil though.

Quick, easy and makes a great side to a variety of meals. I ended up having to double the spice/seasoning ingredients to get all of the potatoes coated. I also added a little Cajun seasoning to use up what I had on hand from a previous recipe. The fries were tender, delicious and loaded with flavor. Served with Recipe #264596. Made for PAC Spring 2013.

These fries were super duper! Quick to make, easy and very, very tasty. I really liked the heat from the cayenne. The fries got nice and brown on the outside, but the inside was softer, which we liked.<br/>Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us, Hootenanny!<br/>Made and reviewed on recommendation of loof May 2011.

These were great fries! I wouldn't have thought to add sugar to oven-baked fries but it was a nice flavor combination with the salt, pepper and cayenne. Thanks for posting your recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2009
