Who doesn’t love french fries?

If I had to pick my favorite fast food French fries (besides McDonald’s because those will always be number 1), I would have to pick A&W’s seasoned fries. Crispy, fried, well seasoned and extremely bad for me. These oven fries are my healthier version of those.

It’s as easy as cutting russet potatoes into wedges, seasoning them in oil, my homemade all-purpose season salt and freshly ground pepper before spreading them out onto a lined pan and sending into a hot oven.

These come together quickly and I guarantee the whole family will love them!

ingredients for Seasoned Steak Fries

To Make These Seasoned Fries You Will Need:

  • russet potatoesThe best potato for making French fries (in my opinion).
  • avocado oilOr use any neutral oil made for high temperature cooking/roasting. (like grapeseed or sunflower oil)
  • season saltThis is my version of Lawry’s season salt.
  • black pepperThis will add some subtle bite and flavor.

cutting potatoes into steak fries

Preheat your oven to 425° and line a rimmed metal baking sheet with parchment.

You’ll wanna scrub the potatoes well to get the dirt off. Cut in half lengthwise, then each half in half again and then into 3 to 4 spears. One potato should give you about 12 spears.

You don’t want any overly thin fries as they will over cook and burn in the oven.

Throw the spears in to a large bowl.

drizzle with avocado oil

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons avocado oil to coat all the potatoes.

Measure 1 tablespoon of the season salt and some freshly ground black pepper over top. I like to make make them extra peppery for Pat.

After the first 25 minutes, carefully turn watch fry. The parchment paper makes these easy to turn because they won’t stick.

Return the pan back to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes more – this will just depend on their thickness.

Serve with ketchup or fry sauce and watch them disappear! These delicious seasoned fries have a crispy exterior and soft fluffy interior and will surely be a hit at your dinner table as well!

Reheating Instructions:

These can be reheated in an air fryer. Simply preheat your air fryer to 270°, add the fries to your basket with a light spray of ghee or olive oil and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, shaking the basket half way through or until crispy and hot.

Recipe Variations:

  • Make them cheesy! Add 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan or pecorino Romano cheese or 1 to 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast if vegan.
  • Play with the spices! Instead of all-purpose season try using a different one of my homemade spice blends!
