Baked Potato Fries

Who doesn't love french fries??  I wanted to find a way to make them that would be slightly healthier than actually "fried".  I found a recipe here that is for baking them.  I added some Old Bay (love fries with Old Bay!) and they turned out pretty good!  We've had them a couple of times.  An easy side for burgers or steak!



Ingredients:

6 Russet Potatoes cut into lengthwise quarters
6 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Old Bay, to taste
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Add your oil to a baking sheet with sides.
Cut each potato into 8 wedges. Combine all dry ingredients into bag–either ziplock or paper,  and add a few potatoes at a time. Shake to coat well. Place the potatoes coated side down into the oil in the pan.
Continue doing this until all the potatoes have been coated and placed in the oil. Bake for about 20 minutes and then pull out and flip over on the other side. Bake for an extra 20 minutes. Pull wedges out of the oven and then sprinkle with alittle kosher salt. Serve hot.
