Homemade seasoned fries, potatoes cut into wedges, seasoned and baked until crispy. Perfect with burgers or cover with chili and cheese. SO good!
If I had to pick my favorite fast food French fries, I would have to pick A&W’s seasoned fries. Crispy, well seasoned, and fried and extremely bad for me. These oven fries are my healthier version of those.
This “A&W” copy cat recipe well kinda just happened by accident. It was the kind of thing where I closed my eyes, crossed my fingers and prayed they would turn out.
To Make These Seasoned Fries You Will Need:
- russet potatoes
- garlic infused olive oil
- season salt
- black pepper
Russet Potatoes LOVE THEM! You’ll wanna scrub those spuds super good to get the dirt off. Cut in half lengthwise and then each half into four spears. The safe way is by placing the potato flat side down and angling your knife and slicing inward towards the cutting board.
Does that make sense? Sometimes I’m not that good at explaining. :/
Throw the spears in to a large bowl.
Drizzle with enough garlic olive oil to coat all the spud spears.
Spud spears, speared spuds, spead surds… crap. lol
Toss, and toss it well. 😉
Measure a tablespoon of the season salt.
And toss it onto the potatoes.
Grind some fresh black pepper over top. I make them extra peppery for Pat.
Toss it again, and not with a spoon… believe me your hands will work the best in this case.
Spread out onto a baking sheet.
Roast these in a preheated 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until done. Don’t try to toss them if they are a little stuck to the pan (using tinfoil would have helped a lot). But if you let them cool a bit before trying to lift them it will be easier to get them off the pan. Then after flipping just toss them back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
These were a total hit for this family!
I loved them, my husband loved them and (the true test) my girls loved them! These delicious seasoned fries have a crispy exterior and soft fluffy interior and will surely be a hit at your dinner table as well! Enjoy!

THANK YOU in advance for your support!
Oh girl these look AWESOME!! If the planets align just right, you can get oven fries to taste like the artery-clogging ones at your favorite restaurant, and you seemed to have done it! Yum! I'll be looking for that homemade Lowrey's!
Yum, something so simple is something that is so great sometimes. My daughter and myself would really enjoy these.
Yummm! I love seasoned baked fries! Good stuff 🙂
Funny thing. I had baked French Fries for dinner. However, they were just the ol' store bought kind. These look great! I like that you didn't fry them either. My favorite fast food fry would be Dairy Queen no question!
yum! I used to love Arby's seasoned fries…now I'm partial to a local burger joint's sweet potato seasoned fries!
I made something similar last week…but I think the addition of Lawry's would make mine even better! Yum.
Baked french fries are a snack that I make for itty bitty quite often. Not as beautifully seasoned as these though. Yummy!
Yum! I love seasoned (homemade) fries! I actually love potatoes anyway you cook them! 🙂
Hold the burger – I'll take more fries please! YUM! ♥- Katrina
These are perfectly golden brown and so tempting!
Ang~ Never had DQ fries before.. usually just go for a M&M Blizzard 🙂
Katrina~ couldn't agree more! Skip the burger and give me the fries!!
Dara ~ Thanks! There is nothing I love more than a good grill char and crispy golden potatoes!! 🙂
mmm, looks so good! can't wait for a simply scratch version of seasoned salt.:)
Yummy laurie! I know Bob really likes seasoned fries and now I can make them for him.
Looks delicious! Your pictures are lovely too! (just found your blog through Babble).
Your fries look delish! I love homemade french fries. I would definitley dip these bad boys in some fry sauce : )
Oh Wow! These look and sound absolutely wonderful:) Now I'm craving fries, thanks:)
Yum! I've done similar to this with sweet potatoes. Now I'll have to try white potatoes. My husband will love it.
I'm making these tomorrow! I know my family will love them 🙂
You might have already found a Simply Scratch for the Seasoning Salt but I have the Simply Organic all-seasons salt and I think it tastes very similar to Lawry's. I can give you the ingredient list if you want. I love the site btw and the fries were great Thanks 🙂
Hi Laurie
Are you still working on the scratch-ify seasoning salt?
Yup… still trying to come up with a scratch-version 🙁
Judge the size of your potatoes wisely. I only used two potatoes but they were huge potatoes. I cut the halves into eights instead of quaters like the directions say. Also when it says use a large mixing bowl follow that. I used a medium bowl and I couldn’t fit all the potato wedges in the bowl. I made a mess trying to fit to much potato into the bowl. The potatoes I used were the size you would use for a huge baked potato like a whole meal with just one potato though.
