Easy Bake Fries

I'm sorry to lead you here under false pretenses by calling these "Easy Bake Fries". If you're like me, a child of the '90's, hearing easy bake, or more particularly and easy bake oven, makes me picture one of these suckers:

No, these french fries are not going to be baked under that sweltering heat of a light bulb. These fries take about 5 minutes of preparation, and the work ends there.


Begin by slicing potatoes. I use about a small potato per person. Per potato you will need

1 tbls olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder

Begin by slicing up your potatoes...

As you can see, I go for pretty slender slices. That's just a preferences- if you like wedges, you'll just want to adjust the baking time.

Mix them in a bowl with olive oil

Mix the spices together. Draw pretty designs.

 Add to the potato bowl and mix until everything is equally coated.
Your oven should be at 400 degrees.
I place the slices on a cooling rack and then place that on a baking sheet. This makes it so that you won't have to flip them half way through and they won't drip in your oven.

Bake for about 30 minutes. You may need longer depending on thickness. Let cool and then demolish.
