addition to Allison's baked fries

[Guest guest]

I highly recommend Allison's method of baking fries in the oven. They

are great this way and really provide that french fry fix. Some

things I do as well is just brush a little olive oil on the cut up

potatoes and I actually use less oil w/o sacrificing the flavor...

but it's so much easier just to put them in a ziploc bag. Allison was

right on about playing w/ the temperature..I've had to adjust the

temp every time I've moved.

Spices I put on them after coating w/ oil:

I like sprinkling about a 1/4th tsp. of seasoning salt, garlic

powder, & pepper and prob about an 1/8th tsp. of tumeric and chili

powder. The tumeric is great b/c it gives the potatoes a golden,

buttery-looking appearance. I think less is best esp. concerning the

seasoning salt. The above listed measurements are not exact since I

just shake the ingredients. Also, I usu use 3 medium-size golden

potatoes.

For sweet potato fries, which I really enjoy, i just sprinkle w/

salt, pepper and garlic powder. I think the garlic powder is

essential in that it seems to really compliment the sweet potatoes'

sweetness.
