Ya know here at our house we love of simple but delish food and these homemade wedge French fries are no different. Super simple to make & yet you will call out to the Heavens at how crunchy the outside is with the tender center of French fry goodness. Can you tell by that statement that I may (or may not) have a love of French fries? Actually here we all do.
Here’s What You Need:
5–8 Idaho Potatoes
Salt
Pepper
Oil (you can use olive or vegetable)
Put on a baking sheet at 425 degrees for 30–25 minutes.
How to Put it Together:
Clean your potatoes. Cut them into long strips of wedges (skin stays on) then rinse them until the starch is washed away (water runs clear) and then toss in the oil, salt & pepper.
You really just want to coat them lightly.
Why don’t I include measurements? Because this is really a judge it as you go recipe. Start with a smaller amount of oil, perhaps 1–2 Tablespoons, coat & then cover with the amounts of salt & pepper to YOUR tastes. You can also add Parmesan cheese or other forms of seasoning.
Then toss on your baking sheet at 425 degrees for 30–35 minutes. You want a crunchy outside but a tender inside.
Play with the recipe. See what you like.
Now go make some french fries for dinner tonight!

[New Post] Homemade French Fries Recipe – http://theconfusedhomemaker.com/2010/10/…
French fries are always a hit. They are also fairly easy to make and a great side to any dish. Thank you for posting.
Yummy, yummy! I also like to slice them up really thin and fry them in the skillet.
This is a great recipe…I can’t wait to try it tonight!
I will also mix sweet potato wedges w/ the idaho potatoes.
Yum!!

We do these, too! Also with some garlic powder. And we’ve done it with sweet potatoes as well!
Yeah I love sweet potato fries too…. and I recently got a mandoline which makes french fries a snap.
We do sweet potatoes and then dip them in Ranch here, too. I also tried making really thin fires with squash this year and that’s really good if you can bake them hot and long enough to get them crunchy.
My hubby will be a pig in the mud when I make this for him. Thanks so much for the recipe! I LOVE the photo of the fries!
