Fabulous Oven Fries

Serves 4

Recipe from Food and Wine

Ingredients:

2 large baking potatoes, cut into 4-by-1/2-inch sticks

(*note-I used a Madeline)

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 large garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon each of minced sage and rosemary

1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese (*note-I grated fresh parmesan)

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:

1.  Preheat the oven to 425 Degrees F.  In a large bowl, toss the potato sticks with the olive oil until evenly coated.  Spread the potato sticks on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the upper third of the oven, turning once or twice with a spatula until they are golden and crispy, about 30 minutes.

2.  Sprinkle the minced garlic and herbs over the fries.  Roast about 5 minutes longer, until the herbs are fragrant and the garlic is lightly browned.  Transfer the fries to a bowl and toss with the grated Pecorino Romano.  Season with salt and pepper.

Enjoy!
