No air fryer? 4meAndyou's Oven Steak Fries

Oven fries use less oil than frying.

Preheat oven to 450 F.

Scrub 4 to 5 medium large russet potatoes with a vegetable brush. Leave the skins on. Because of some confusion as to the size of these potatoes, they were about 5" long and 5 to 6 inches in circumference. They were not huge baking potatoes. And one of the people commenting below suggested that I simply state that the slices be no thicker than 1/2".

Pat potatoes dry with paper towels. Slice each potato in half the long way, then slice each half in thirds the long way.

In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons any oil, (I use avocado oil), and up to one teaspoon each of your favorite spices. Examples:

1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp McCormick Cajun Seasoning, 1/4 tsp black pepper

OR 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp salt.

OR 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp paprika.

OR 1/2 packet hidden valley ranch dry salad dressing mix.

OR 1 tsp Adobo seasoning.

Mix your choice of seasonings with the oil, and then add the sliced potatoes. Toss to coat the slices thoroughly with oil.

Cover a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Place the potato slices on the pan so they are in a single layer.

Bake 8-10 minutes, remove and with tongs, turn the potatoes so the browned side is up. Bake 8-10 minutes more. Serves about 6-8 people.

this sounds like a terrible recipe unless you like raw potatoes.

@Penny I guess you missed the part where the potato slices are...baked?
Penny · 46-50, F
@4meAndyou for 16-20 minutes? that's not enough for potatoes generally.

@4meAndyou i guess the heat is pretty high, but still, sounds like not enough time

@Penny I used medium large potatoes in this recipe. If you slice them according to my directions, they are only about 1/4" thick. I have experimented with several baking times with this recipe, and if you bake them 17 minutes on the first side and 10 minutes on the second, they blacken. To avoid blackening them, they need to be baked for less time. These are not whole potatoes.

@4meAndyou recipe states cut whole potato into 6 wedges. you must have skinny potatoes

@Penny Well, they weren't that big. If you were making a baked potato, it would be a smallish one, about 4 to 5" long, and about 6" in circumference.
