These simple baked fries are a must when we make burgers in my home. For a real treat, try using sweet potatoes instead of white ones and enjoy the combination of spicy and sweet.
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 2 T. olive oil
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground red pepper -- choose the variety according to your heat tolerance!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the baking potatoes lengthwise into thin strips -- about 1/4" thick. Place the potatoes and the remaining ingredients into a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake it vigorously to evenly coat the potatoes with oil and spices.
Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the prepared potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the potatoes and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Serve hot.
