We had turkey burgers tonight and I wanted to make oven fries with a spicy flavor. I found this recipe on a blog called Tastefully Julie. I doubled the recipe for our family of 5 using just regular to smallish-sized potatoes and we had some leftover, but we wouldn't have had enough if I hadn't doubled it. These fries are amazing! All of our children loved them.

Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (or double for a bolder flavor. Also try adding a pinch of cayenne for more of a bite)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Slice potatoes into “hand-cut” size fries as pictured.
- Place sliced potatoes in a gallon size Ziploc bag and add the remaining ingredients. (edit: I just put them in a bowl and tossed everything together)
- Coat potatoes with the spices and oil by shaking bag well.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread potatoes out in a single layer. (edit: no parchment paper here. I just sprayed the baking sheet with nonstick spray. Also, since I doubled it I used two trays and just rotated them)
- Bake 20 minutes. Flip the fries over and crank oven up to 450.
- Cook 10 minutes, flip again and cook 10 more minutes or until potatoes are crisp and not burnt. Watch carefully during the last 10 minutes.
Prep time: 10 minutes, Cook time: 40 minutes, Total time: 50 minutes,
