Oven-Baked Potato Fries

These potato fries are a great way to get kids started on learning how to cook. We used this for our “at-home” camp week. We taught the kids how to cook one new recipe each day for an entire week.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baking potatoes, each cut into six wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2
Arrange potato wedges on a baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and season with thyme, pepper, and salt. Toss wedges with a spatula to coat evenly.

Step 3
Roast potato wedges in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; flip and continue roasting until soft in the center, about 15 minutes more. Transfer wedges to a platter and sprinkle with cheese.

Tips

You can also make a sweet potato version by using ground cinnamon and omitting thyme, pepper, and cheese.
