I’ve been searching for the perfect recipe for oven fries for a long time. Usually, the fries don’t crisp up. They are so soggy that they need to be drowned in ketchup to become palatable. These oven fries are crispy, crunchy, salty, spicy and delicious. I could eat cumin and pepper with a spoon, the flavours are so vibrant. If they don’t appeal to you, feel free to leave them out. These manly wedges work well with steak. Tonight we had them with salmon smoked from the Big Green Egg. The kids liked them too, no red sauce necessary.
Outstanding Oven Fries
4 large white potatoes (cut into wedges)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Place in boiling water for 20 minutes or until just tender. (Don’t cook until too soft.) Place in a single layer on a baking sheet which has been lined with foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with spices, salt and pepper. Broil for 15-20 minutes until browned.
