I made these Kid Friendly Homemade French Fries a few weeks ago and they were a huge hit with Jillian! She loved being able to hold them herself and the soft texture of the french fries made it easy for taking small bites. I am always trying to find healthy alternatives to kid friendly foods and this has been my favorite so far! No frying, just wholesome baked goodness. Enjoy!
{What You Need}
- 3-4 Large Russet Potatoes
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch Lawry's Season Salt (optional)
{How You Make It}
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Cut the potatoes into 1/4 Inch Strips.
Place the cut potatoes into a microwave-safe dish with the water. Cook on in the microwave for 5 minutes on full power. Drain off liquid, and toss with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Arrange fries on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 30 minutes, turning once, or until fries are crispy on the outside.

I make roasted potato cubes frequently. I'll have to try cutting them into french fry shape, microwaving first, and using a touch of seasoned salt like you've described. They look great!
ReplyDeleteI do this a lot, too - so yummy!
ReplyDeleteHomemade french fries are one of my favorite foods ever! I haven't made them in awhile & I normally fry them. I'll have to try baking them especially since I'm trying to eat better.
ReplyDeleteYummmm. SO much better then fast food fried ones!
ReplyDeleteI need to do this again. Thanks for reminding me. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThe fries sound delicious Karen. I love the idea of the soft texture and of course no frying.
