Rosemary Garlic Oven Baked Steak Fries: crispy, flavorful, tasty, easy and nutritious. My family’s favorite way to eat a potato!

So I’m standing in the express check-out line of the grocery store several months ago. The man behind me is holding one item only, a ten pound bag of potatoes. We chit-chat for a minute, then he says:

“My dad told me as long as you have potatoes, you’ll never go hungry.”

I thought about it later, and his dad was right. I mean, think of all the fabulous ways you can eat a potato. Scalloped. Baked. Home-fried. Mashed. Grilled. Roasted. No reason to go hungry with a bag of potatoes on hand.

Hands down our favorite way to eat a potato is to make Rosemary Garlic Oven Baked Steak Fries. These fries are crispy, flavorful, tasty, easy and nutritious. Inexpensive. And they fill you up. Even a house full of boys. (I would know.)

Rosemary Garlic Oven Baked Steak Fries are the perfect side with Maple Glazed Ribs above, or a delicious Juicy Grilled Turkey & Beef Burger.

This recipe isn’t rocket science. My recipe below serves six, but when you make these fries,  just count up the number of people being served and use one potato per person, adjusting the garlic and rosemary proportionately.

Wash the potatoes, then slice into uniform wedges, leaving the skin on. (I usually slice each potato into 8 wedges unless it’s a very large potato and then I slice it into 10 or 12.) The key is to cut the potatoes uniformly so they cook evenly.

Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Stir in minced garlic and rosemary, distributing evenly. Lay prepared potato wedges flat on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pop into a hot oven on the highest rack to bake. Turn once during baking so potatoes brown evenly on both sides.
