Notes

  • Which potatoes are best for oven baked fries? Russet potatoes are best for longer, thinner fries and Yukon golds are great for a thicker cut.
  • Add flavor without added calories by seasoning with a sprinkle of spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Serve with sauces for dipping such as ketchup, ranch, or this spicy homemade dipping sauce.
  • These fries taste awesome with homemade burgers or grilled protein like chicken or seafood.
