Oven Baked Fries

I love to make oven baked fries! I don't know what it is but I love fries but feel so much better when I bake them at home...that is if I can remember to start them at least an hour before dinner time (because I'm not always that lucky!) I have tried many different methods of home made fries. I really like the idea of soaking them for 30 minutes or so before seasoning and baking them and I'll give credit to the person who gave me the idea as soon as I can remember (sorry). I also like the idea of simply using a ranch dressing packet to season the fries.
This recipe, though, was just perfect! It seemed to give me just the right seasoning amounts of some really yummy oven fries! I got it off of pinterest and is originally found off of Playing With Sugar...enjoy!

Oven Baked Fries

NOTE: The amounts listed are for every one pound of fries. One pound of fries is the equivelant of appoximately 3 medium potatoes. (I just double or triple the recipe to fit within my needs).

Ingredients:

1 pound of medium russet potatoes (approx 3 medium potatoes)
1 1/2 TBSP of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
1/4 tsp Dried Oregano
1/8 tsp Dried Rosemary
1/4 tsp of Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp of Old Bay Seasoning
2 TBSP of Kraft Parmesan Style Grated Cheese (I used reduced fat)

Directions:

*Preheat oven to 425.
*Wash and cut potatoes into 1/8ths.
*Place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with foil (I used Reynolds Release foil so that they will not stick, but you could also either use non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease the top of the foil with extra virgin olive oil).
*Mix all of the spices and the parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
*Place all of the potatoes (remember we are talking about one pound at a time) into a gallon size freezer bag, add olive oil and the parmesan cheese/spice mixture to the bag.
*Seal the bag and shake until the potatoes are evenly coated.
*Once thoroughly coated dump onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread in a single layer.
* Bake 30-45 minutes or until tender and lightly golden brown. (Baking times will vary depending on the amount of fries that you make and the size that you cut them). For the ones shown in the picture they were baked at 425 for 45 minutes.
