Baked Potato Fries

shared by Patty H.
Ingredients:
6-8 potatoes, depending on size (I have found that red potatoes taste the best with this recipe but it works on other types as well.)
2 T. olive oil
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. chili powder
1 T. dried parsley flakes
optional: grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Directions:
1. Scrub potatoes and rinse under cold water. Pat dry.
2. Cut potatoes into wedges or thick steak fries (about 8 wedges per potato)
3. In a mixing bowl, toss potatoes in oil.
4. Mix dry ingredient thoroughly in a small bowl. Pour over potatoes and toss to coat.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
6. Spread potatoes in a single layer on an ungreased non-stick baking sheet (I just covered my baking sheet with a layer of foil which made clean-up a breeze.)
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes test done with a fork.(If you like your fries a little crispier, you can turn the heat up to 425 for the last few minutes of baking.)
8. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
Note: This is very, very tasty and definitely worth making but the combination of spices seems to make the cooking aroma linger in the kitchen for awhile.
