Garlic Dill Baked French Fries

Hello friends!  I have a new recipe for you to try out!  I decided to try something I have never done this time.  I have seen versions of this on food channels and of course I love potatoes, so I said "why the heck not!" :)  I loved these!  They were so tasty and crispy on the bottom!  If you like a little spice you can add a little cayenne pepper to it (it is good for your heart you know!)  I hope you enjoy! (Oh and sorry for the crappy picture, I have horrible lighting in my apartment.)

Garlic Dill Baked French Fries

Ingredients

4 or 5 medium sized potatoes
2 -3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
Lawrys Garlic Salt (you can use which ever brand you want)
Dill
Pepper

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

First clean off potatoes under some running water just to get off any dirt or debris.  Don't peel the skin off, unless you don't like the skin or you have finicky children.  Slice up your potatoes into french fries.  The easiest way i know how to do it is slice it length ways on the flat end then chop from the top.  You can go through and make them smaller if you want, I did.

(Dont worry if your potatoes start turning brown while you slice the others, you can put them in some cold water and the brown goes away, almost like magic)

Drizzle your olive oil on a baking sheet.  Add sliced potatoes and toss them in the olive oil, making sure to coat all of them.

Once they are coated with the olive oil, spread them out on the baking sheet.  Make sure they are not on top of each other, you want the bottoms of them to be crispy.

Next sprinkle the garlic salt over them, followed by the dill, and then the pepper.

Now just slide them into the over and cook them for about 25 to 30 minutes.  Check on them every 10 minutes or so because depending on how thin or how thick you cut them, you may need to take them out earlier or leave them in longer.

Serve on a plate as a side dish or by themselves.  Use Ranch Dressing as a dip. :) YUMMY
