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.
Oh, my do those sound good. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOven fries are the best!

Your brother lives in Haywood? ! - what town?
ReplyDeleteYeah, 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!)
They look like something that needs to be cooked in my house very soon. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get an oven and try those! I would never have thought to coat them in butter first but those look really tasty! :)
ReplyDeleteEverything is better with butter - these look amazing.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to you to make my favorite tater even better! Butter, I would not have thought that up in a million years! I am doing it with butter next time!
ReplyDeleteI am a meat and potato eater and I solemnly swear to scarf those up!
ReplyDeleteThose look like the kind my friend use to make. they were always so good.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmm BUTTER!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! I really like the spices that you added, but I agree, it would be so good with rosemary!
ReplyDeleteThese sound really delicious. That butter must take them over the top.
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteTried something similar recently, and was amazed I liked the potatoes more than my wife did! She kills for taters, too!
ReplyDeleteButter and potatoes. A match made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteAw heck, just send that whole plate on over would ya? ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteBookmarked! I know my boys will love these.
ReplyDeleteThese have me craving potatoes, just in time for dinner! I will be giving these a go.
ReplyDeleteDelicious and absolutely love the idea of baking them.
ReplyDeleteI really don't do this often enough. Those potatoes just look amazingly delicious!
ReplyDeleteI bet the butter makes them incredibly crispy and so delicious! A must-try!
ReplyDeleteButtery oven fries sound crispy and super delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite way to eat potatoes!
ReplyDeleteExcellent alternative to the boring old standards!!
ReplyDeletethese look so good!
ReplyDeleteYum, Yum, Yum! I want to eat up that whole plate!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is just coincidence that I always eat after I read your blog!
