Thick-cut oven fries are delicious—and so easy, especially if you don't have time to make the deep-fried version. Use russet or purple potatoes, or a mixture of both.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 pounds unpeeled russet potatoes or purple potatoes, scrubbed, cut lengthwise into 1/2- to 1/3-inch wedges
2 tablespoons canola oil

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Toss potato wedges with canola oil in large bowl.
