This is a great recipe to get kids started learning how to cook. Take a day, take a week, teach them new things each day. We used this for our 'at-home' camp week. Taught the kids how to cook one new thing each day for an entire week.

Oven-Baked Potato Fries

potatoes,

olive oil

thyme leaves

black pepper

salt

Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).


Arrange potato wedges on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the wedges; season with thyme, pepper, and salt. Turn wedges with a spatula to coat with oil and seasonings.


Roast potato wedges for 15 minutes, turn, and continue roasting until soft in the center, about 15 minutes more. Transfer wedges to a platter and sprinkle cheese over them.


This is a simple potato wedge recipe that's a favorite around our house.  Rather than spreading the potato wedges on the baking sheet and drizzling the oil and adding the spices, I'll put everything into a Ziploc bag.  I'll shake it until the oil and spices are evenly distributed and then pour then onto the baking pan.

The cooking time was just right.   I did cut my potatoes into 8 wedges each, so they were a little smaller wedges.  I used grape seed oil instead of olive oil.  Tip:  peel the potatoes and place in cold water.  Cut them into wedges and then back into the cold water. Drain & DRY thoroughly, then coat with oil and seasoning.

Needed 20 minutes more....and lots of salt.

We really liked these oven fries. I had smaller potatoes and cut each into 9 wedges. I really didn't think that the thyme would add anything to the fries and I was so wrong. I followed Baking Nana's advice and put the potatoes into water after peeling and then again after cutting. I did cut the recipe back by half but otherwise followed it as written. Great simple recipe and so easy. I am really looking forward to trying the sweet potato version. Thanks for sharing. Update: I made the sweet potato version today. The cinnamon didn't appeal to me so I used 1/2 tsp each salt pepper smoked paprika and garlic powder. Great flavour but I found that they didn't crisp up as much as the white version. Definitely a keeper.

I sprinkled half the tray with white white pepper and the other half with black pepper and accompanied it with oven baked chicken

I placed the wedges in my microwave dry for 7 Min let them cool then followed instructions to the (T). They were Great.

Followed the recipe exactly. The best oven-baked fries I have ever had. Easy to do and will be making them again.

These come really out very tasty. I keep them in the oven even longer because I like them very crispy.

These delicious oven-baked fries are topped with olive oil, thyme, pepper, and salt.
