baked steak fries

These are so simple and tasty.  Wash and dry the potatoes.  Cut into wedges, spread on a parchment lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with olive oil and seasonings.

These baked fries are great if you really want carb-y french fry goodness, but don't want all the guilt of eating greasy food that goes with it.  Also, these are super easy to make.

I personally like my fries really thick, so I cut mine like steak fries (and I leave the skins on because I like the taste, and that's where a lot of the nutrients are) but you can always peel yours or slice them thin.

ingredients:
russet potatoes, sliced
        (I cut about 2-3 very small potatoes per person)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1-2 tbsp olive oil (depending how many potatoes you use)

directions:
1. preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. toss all ingredients in a freezer bag, seal, shake well to combine.
3. empty bag contents onto baking sheets covered with parchment paper.  If you don't have parchment paper, it's ok.  I just like to use it because otherwise the potatoes can stick to the baking sheet and be harder to remove.
4. bake for 40 minutes.  Then turn oven to broil for 2 minutes to give the fries a nice crisp.
5. remove from oven and serve immediately.

note: you can substitute peeled yams for the russets potatoes and keep the rest of the recipe the same.
So good!
