    Those were frozen ones baked in the hot oven from making the bread.

    I bake fresh cut fries to avoid oil waste. They might not be as crispy as you want on all four sides. You can mix in a third of a cup of corn starch with the seasoning and oil to add some crispness.

    Oven Fries

    1 lb potatoes

    2 tbsp olive oil or peanut oil

    Variables: (all amounts are estimates, go wild)

    1/2 tsp red pepper, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper

    Or

    2 tbsp McCormick’s Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning

    or 1 tbsp italian seasoning

    or

    2 tbsp McCormick’s Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning

    or

    everything red, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, etc salt

    • pre-heat oven to 425
    • cut potato into fries of desired thickness
    • in some large container mix everything making sure to get oil and spices more or less evenly distributed on potatoes
    • space fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so that they are close but do not touch
    • pop in oven
    • Bake for 25 minutes, the thicker the fries the longer the cooking time.
