Oven Fries

I needed a new way to fix potatoes. I was not in the mood for mashed potatoes. Scalloped potatoes take to long and my new way of living definitely did not support frying them. I figured that baking would be the way to go.  As the main course is big juicy Bacon and Cheddar Hamburger Steaks, oven fries seemed to be a good fit.  Here are the ingredients that I used:

7 russet potatoes, peeled and cut length-wise
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Dump the seasonings into a large ziploc bag along with the oil.  Add the potato slices and close the bag.  Make sure you have it sealed.  Vigorously shake the bag until the potatoes are well coated with the olive oil and seasonings.

Bake in a 450 degree oven for at least 30 minutes or until potatoes are done. Transfer to a bowl and toss in some shredded Parmesan and parsley if desired. I forgot the parsley at the store but I did add the Parmesan.

It made for a lovely side dish to our hamburger steaks!
