Buttery Oven Fries

These scrumptious, crispy potatoes are a great side for almost any meal. Your meat and potato eaters will definitely scarf them up!


Peel 3 potatoes and cut in to hearty strips.





Pour 1/2 stick of melted butter over the potatoes.




At this point you can season the potatoes any way you like. We used Lawry's Season Salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a tablespoon of chopped parsley. I think rosemary would really rock these too.



Toss the potatoes in the butter ans seasonings with your hands to evenly coat each spear.



Line the potato spears on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Until potatoes are golden brown.




Well seasoned, crunchy potatoes make a statement all their own.

  1. I would not have thought to use butter to get them brown and crispy. I'll try it. Thanks K!

  3. Your brother lives in Haywood? ! - what town?

    Yeah, you can get here, but have to go via 441 or Gatlinburg or something - my sis in law flew into Knoxville, and had to take that route--it takes a little longer, but it can be done!

    (want some taters now!)

  12. These potatoes do rock! Anything with butter and salt has got to be good! You are right rosemary would really bring the flavor up a notch.

  16. I made these for the first time about a year ago, and called them "oven fries." Of course, my smallest picky eater loved them. I used salad oil instead of butter and they were still magnificent!
