Oven Fries

These oven fries are a delicious addition to any weekend breakfast.  We enjoy them with scrambled eggs and fruit.  They also are stellar with dinner if we're serving fried chicken, chicken fingers, sandwiches, steak, or grilled chicken.  The kids really love these and I like them on the crispy side, but bake them however you like them.  I start checking around 20 minutes or so and spear one with a fork to test.  Make sure they are cooked through, biting into an uncooked potato is the worst.

Oven Fries
3-4 large potatoes
1 T flour
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2  fresh ground pepper
1 tsp.  smoked paprika or "season all"
olive oil - a few glugs
1-2 green onions - reserved

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Wash potatoes and cut into wedges.  Drop onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.  Add all remaining ingredients  and toss with hands.  Spread out into a single layer and bake 25-35 minutes (depends on thickness of potatoes) until potatoes are cooked through and browned on edges.  Pull out of oven and add green onion, I just take a pair of kitchen shears and cut the onions over the top of the pan and serve with ketchup.
