LOADED OVEN FRIES RECIPE
i love french fries. i eat them often and am picky when it comes to the quality: crispy but not crunchy, not too thin or thick, and always served with something to dip them in. i never make them at home because i don’t like the way oven fries turn out, they are often soggy and not cooked properly through the center. but, i’m here to give you two life changing oven fry techniques – 1. cut them and then soak them in water for at least an hour. then rinse and let them dry completely. 2. don’t over oil them before baking. the extra oil keeps them from crisping up. do those two things and you’ll have perfect fries (but still not as good as mcdonalds fries)- joanie
what you’ll need:
• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• few springs of oregano
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 2 limes sliced into wedges
• preheat oven to 350. wash and thinly slice 4 large russet potatoes. In a large bowl, mix the potatoes with olive oil (add more oil as needed), garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley flakes and minced garlic. we recommend not adding salt to the seasoning as the parmesan and spicy garlic drizzle will have plenty.
• place parchment paper over a baking sheet and lay the seasoned fries in a single layer (do not overlap). bake for 35 -40 minutes or until golden brown.
spicy garlic drizzle:
• 1/2 cup vegan mayo ( greek yogurt works great too!)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• half a lime squeezed
• salt and pepper to taste
• for the spicy garlic drizzle, in a medium bowl, mix the vegan mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley flakes, Sriracha sauce, half a lime squeezed and salt and pepper to taste. put into a squeeze bottle and set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
• place fries on a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley, shredded parmesan cheese and a drizzle of the spicy garlic drizzle. we served ours with lime wedges. enjoy!

I love fries! This looks so yummy trying this out this coming weekend.
Hello there Bri,
I’ve been blessed by your lovely blog. I just wanted to let you know that I’m praying for you, and I hope that you’re doing okay! I read one of your posts where you shared that you were struggling a bit. We all have our struggles and it takes courage and strength share them. But from one gal to another, in a volatile world of empty fads that is constantly telling us how to live our lives, I just wanted to share some honest-to-goodness truth with you, in the hopes that you’ll be blessed.
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.”
Romans 5:1-2
“Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will be. But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.”
Psalm 39:6-8
Quite simply, we were created by God and for God, and we can only find that wholeness, rest, and purpose that our hearts crave in Him alone. I’m a Bible believing Christian, and while I certainly don’t believe that you can force people to think a certain way, it is such a privilege share these powerful and beautiful truths. I’ll be continuing to pray for you, and
feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions about faith. 🙂 And truly, I’m not doing this to be ‘religious’ or anything, but in the midst of a fake and empty world, the truth is that the only everlasting hope and rest is in Christ alone.
No matter where you are in life, I sincerely wish you the best.
xoxo, Audrey
Yum Yum Yummm!!
