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.

Better to say: cut in half inch wedges, potatoes can greatly vary in size.

FYI I've heard of these called as country style fries.

@DeWayfarer You're right...I've already had to clear up some confusion. I think I will go and fix that.
