Roasted Potato Fries

I love potatoes. I just do, baked, fried, mashed, smashed, sauteed, roasted, boiled, you name it I'll eat it. So when I was making the Swedish Meatballs I had the idea to serve them with fries instead of my usual mashed potato. I used the same seasonings that went into the meatballs and the result was a very complimentary side dish.

Roasted Potato Fries: Serves 4

2lbs Red Potatoes
1.5tsp Onion Powder
1/2tsp Pepper
1/2tsp Salt
1TB Olive Oil
Ice Water

Slice the potatoes into 1/4" thick fry shapes and place in a large bowl of ice water, shake them around and remove from the ice water and dry with a kitchen towel. You will notice the water will turn cloudy when you place the potatoes in it, this is the starch on the surface leaving the potato which will allow the potato to crisp up better in the oven.

Put the dried potatoes in a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients. Place on a greased wire rack on a cookie sheet and place in a 375° oven for 40 minutes, then crank the heat to 425° and cook for another 10-15 minutes to brown the fries. Remove from the oven, serve and enjoy!
