Cookin' with Laura: Spicy Roasted Potato Fries

Want awesome fries that aren't fried? Stick to your diet and indulge in these amazing creations by my kitchen savior Laura Vitale! These are so amazing, way better than fries that restaurants sell with their burgers! It is more like fish and chips style! Mmmmmmmmm! So let's get to it, shall we?

As always, you can watch Laura make this recipe here!

Ingredients:
6 Large Russet Potatoes
1 Tbsp of Chili Powder
1 Tbsp of Ground Garlic Powder
2 tsp of Granulated Onion
2 tsp of Italian Seasoning
1 tsp of Paprika
4 Tbsp of Olive Oil or Canola Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Process:

1) Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil and place them in the oven as it preheats so that the baking sheets will be preheated as well.

Her steps 2 and 3 involve a microwave, and since I am on a one-woman mission to put the microwave market out of business, we decided to make a variation: Just cut the fries into long, somewhat thin strips (see below picture) and they will have no problem cooking through in the oven! ;)

I am such a lucky lady to have such a great husband! Thanks for helping Cole!

4) In a large bowl, mix together all the spices with the olive oil, add the potatoes and toss everything together to coat.

5) Divide the potatoes on the hot baking sheets, making sure that they are all in one layer. Pop them in the oven and roast them for about 20-25 minutes or until crispy.

6) Check on them and rotate the baking sheets around if you feel like they are coloring too soon on one side and not the other.

Sooooo yummy! These are pictured with some mushroom, cherry tomato, and feta bruschetta!

These are so easy and flavorful that you don't even need a dipping sauce! Make sure you serve them immediately, because like any batch of fries, they just don't have the same crispiness after they have sat for a while! Please make these, you won't be disappointed!

Enjoy your day!
