Here’s a quick, easy, and no-fuss side that would be welcome along side any grilled carnage. Not only are these simple, but they are a hearty and relatively healthy alternative to regular fries.
Preheat your oven to 375ºF.
Wash the potatoes, and dry them with paper towels.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise into three equal wedges, and put them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the oil to the mixing bowl, reserving one tablespoon.
Toss the potatoes in the oil to coat them.
Combine the barbecue seasoning and corn starch in a small bowl, and mix well with a fork or small whisk.
Add the seasoning and corn starch mixture to the bowl and stir the potatoes to coat them evenly.
Oil a large lipped sheet pan well with the reserved oil.
Pour the potatoes on the oiled pan and arrange them so that each wedge is sitting on the skin side (cut sides up).
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Serve and enjoy!

Okay, we made them last night. Delicious! I’d never heard of the cornstarch trick before, and that along with the flour spray at the halfway mark made the absolute best batch of oven fries we’ve ever had. My husb couldn’t stop remarking about their crispiness. My search is over! The perfect oven fries have been achieved! Thanks so much for the recipe.

heartless – A barbecue seasoning is a mix of seasonings used for, you guessed it, barbecue. It’s also known as a “rub”. There are some good store-bought brands, like McCormick Grill Mates. For this recipe I’d recommend their Pork Rub. You can find it in the spice isle of most larger grocery stores.
I hope this helps.

I’m sorry if this is such a silly question, but what is barbeque seasoning?
These look incredible and I definitely want to try them out!
I think all of your recipes look simply mouthwatering!

The sauce is fry sauce, which is simply equal parts ketchup and mayonnaise, but many jazz it up with other seasonings. I put a little ranch and hot sauce in mine.
Here’s a healthier version that the family actually liked this more than the traditional sauce:
1 cup Sour cream
1/4 cup Sweet barbecue sauce
1 tsp Garlic salt
1 tsp Your favorite hot sauce

What kind of dipping sauce is that in the picture? Can you post recipe for it?
