Oven Chili Fries
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 475 degrees F.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into about six long wedges. Alternatively, cut each potato into thin rounds. A mandoline (a hand-operated device that evenly slices vegetables) also can be used to cut uniform wedges or rounds.
- Transfer the cut potatoes to a large zip top plastic bag. Add the oil, cumin and chili powder. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the potatoes.
- Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until the fries are crisp. For more even crisping, use a spatula to flip the fries after 25 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot (and with gobs of ketchup).
