The Best seasoned french fries recipe

I am so excited to share this delicious seasoned French fries recipe with you all. As a busy mom, I’m always on the lookout for easy and healthy recipes that my family will love, and this one is a winner. The dish originated in France, where it’s known as ‘pommes frites,’ but I like to think of it as a staple of American cuisine. There’s something magical about taking simple potatoes and turning them into a crispy, flavorful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or just want a quick snack after school, these seasoned French fries are sure to please even the pickiest eaters. And the best part? They’re surprisingly easy to make! All you need is some potatoes, oil, and a few seasonings, and voila – you’ve got a tasty side dish that’s sure to become a favorite in your household.

My kids can’t get enough of them, and I love serving them at family gatherings because they’re just so easy to make in bulk. Plus, they’re actually pretty good for you too – I mean, they’re made from potatoes, which are full of fiber and nutrients. So go ahead, give them a try – your taste buds (and your kids) will thank you! I like to think of this recipe as the ultimate comfort food – it’s warm, it’s fuzzy, and it makes me feel all cozy inside.

When I was growing up, my mom used to make these all the time for us after school, and now that I’m a mom myself, I love serving them up as a special treat for my kids after their own long days. And let me tell you – they never get tired of ’em! In fact, my youngest child is still learning how to peel potatoes properly (she likes to use her fingers!) , but even with all the extra effort involved in making these fries from scratch – they’re always worth it.

It’s funny how certain foods can transport us back to our childhood memories – like these fries do for me every time I take a bite. And now that I have kids of my own who love ’em just as much as I do… well, let’s just say we have plenty of fun making memories together in the kitchen!

For the Seasoned Fries

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3Scrub the potatoes clean, and cut them into 1/3-inch sticks.
4Leave the skin on for extra crispiness and nutrients.
5Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
6Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
7Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
8Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking and crispiness.
9Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
10Then flip the fries using tongs and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
11Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

📝Notes

Tips: For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before patting them dry and seasoning. This helps to remove excess starch.

I always make a double batch and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They are great for a quick snack or side dish throughout the week. Just reheat them in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 5-10 minutes, or until they are crispy again.

I also like to serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, aioli, or BBQ sauce. This adds an extra layer of flavor and makes them even more delicious. This recipe is always a good idea for any occasion and works well for family gatherings.

They are easy to make and require only a few simple ingredients. You can customize the seasoning to your liking, making them a versatile dish that everyone will enjoy. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

Happy cooking.
