Sometimes I’m not really sure if I should share something with y’all. Especially when, say, it takes so few ingredients and so little time that it’s hardly even really a recipe. Or it’s so straightforward that it took me pretty much zero imagination to come up with it. Or it’s something I didn’t even come up with myself. Or all three. I mean, everyone has had Oven-Baked Fries, right?

But you know what? I’m sharing these easy oven fries anyway. Whenever I bake up a batch of oven fries, I secretly beam a little with pride, because dangit, they’re freakin’ fabulous.

Especially when sprinkled with some coarse salt, a good dose of freshly ground black pepper, and served up with a nice big dollop of ketchup. There’s not much better when it comes to a side or a snack, even if it’s not the most unique, creative not-even-a-recipe recipe I’ve ever shared here.

We enjoy these tasty little Oven-Baked Fries alongside burgers (veggie for me) or brats, (veggie for me)or even all on their own. They’re a terrifically healthy alternative to deep-fried french fries, and with their crunchy bits here, crispy bits there, and soft puffs of potato in between, they taste just as great. Better, even.

To make easy oven fries even easier, I like to make these with thin-skinned potatoes like red or Yukon gold. No need to peel – just cut into wedges, toss with oil, season, and bake.
