WHY IS IT BETTER TO MAKE FRIES IN THE OVEN?
You don't need to deep fry potatoes to make crispy French fries, a hot oven will do the trick.
Here are the reasons we love to make fries in the oven:
- Less oil
- Fewer calories
- Easier clean up

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE ROSEMARY & SAGE HOME FRIES?
This is so a simple recipe and you only need 6 ingredients to make oven baked French fries.
- 3 large baking potatoes
- 2 tablespoon olive oil - you can use any vegetable oil, we just prefer the rich flavor of olive oil.
- 1 teaspoon ground rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon ground sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
HOW TO MAKE HOME FRIES IN THE OVEN
STEP ONE
Scrub the potatoes, dry them, and remove any black spots that remain on the potato skin.
STEP TWO
Slice the potatoes into thick wedges and place in a large bowl.
STEP THREE
In a small dish, whisk the spices together until combined.
STEP FOUR
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle the spices on top. Use your hands to coat the potatoes with the oil and spices and then spread the potatoes on the sheet. Make sure that they don't overlap. Roast for approximately 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy and then flip and roast for another 15 minutes, or until both sides of the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE CRISPIEST HOME FRIES
- Don't skimp on the oil. The oil will help the fries get crispy on the outside and keep them tender on the inside.
- Make sure that the potatoes have a bit of room on the baking sheet. Don't pile them up or the steam will make them soggy.
- Flip them after 15 minutes so both sides get crispy.
- Bake them until both sides are golden brown.

Laurie says
Great flavor! I used red potatoes because that's what I had on hand. My husband liked them too.
Linda Meyer says
Thank you, Laurie! We're so happy you liked them. Thanks for taking the time to let us know, we appreciate it.

Made these for the family to go with some eggs for breakfast this morning. They were a hit! Seasoning was spot on. Texture was great. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle just how you want them. My 7-year old son said he liked them better than the fries at Red Robin (high praise!)! Will definitely be making these many more times.
*Substituted 1 tbsp fresh chopped sage from our garden instead of dried.
*Flipped and cooked potatoes another 5-10 minutes after the second 15 minute roast to adequately brown (this is to be expected with different cooks cutting different sized potatoes and all of us using different stoves).

Hi Josh! We are so honored, tell your son we said, thank you!! 🙂 You totally made our day!
