I am obsessed with potatoes. I love the idea of oven fries or oven potatoes, but they never seem to work for us, we have to bake them for well over an hour and they’re never cooked evenly. It drove me nuts, oven potatoes shouldn’t be rocket science!
Through years of trial and error I finally figured out the best way to make oven potatoes (rather quickly too!) I make a couple times a week, Aliceana loves them too!
We’re sometimes oh-so sophisticated in our household and make these potatoes with dinosaur chicken nuggets for lunch.
The secret to making perfect oven fries? Ironically, it’s the microwave!
I love this easy and delicious recipe, and hope you do too! Enjoy!
