Let’s face it. French fries are a favorite at pretty much every restaurant. They’re the perfect comfort food, and it’s way too easy to just eat one after another of a big basket of fries with your favorite burger.

These oven roasted fries are a little different. They’re cut into thick wedges, so they’re a nice complement to steak, chicken and sandwiches too!

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a large, rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Toss the potato wedges with the oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle the potatoes generously with salt and pepper; spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast the potato wedges until tender and brown in spots, turning occasionally, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve. We sprinkled a little fresh parsley on top too, but that’s totally optional.

These oven roasted fries are so easy to make. Roasting them turns them into crispy pieces of potato that will melt in your mouth.

I love how some of them are more like potato with a crisp exterior, and the smaller pieces are just straight-up crispy through and through.

Serve the traditional way with ketchup. There’s a truffle ketchup at Trader Joe’s that is awesome! Or make whole grain mustard aioli or burger sauce for dipping your fries. Enjoy!
