Baked French Fries

Oooh, these were yummy!  I forgot to get a picture, and by the time I remembered they had been polished off!  I just wanted a simple recipe for oven baked fries that would have some flava, and THESE were THEM!!  Jake and Elena scarfed them down, Kyle thought they were too spicy for him (but he was also very very tired), I don't dare give one to Jill, and Kelly and I both agree these will be a side dish to keep on our lists.

The best part is how easy they are:

(this is the amount I used, but it can easily be adjusted)

5 large baking potatoes

1/4 c. plus 1 Tbsp. olive oil

salt and pepper

2 1/2 tsp. paprika

2 1/2 tsp. onion powder

2 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

2 1/2 tsp. chili powder (this is what all the reviews said was a must and I agree!  Ours is a mild for the boys in our family who can't handle spice like Elena and I can, so it may need adjusting for your buds)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut potatoes into wedges.  Mix all the other ingredients in a bowl, then add the potatoes and coat.  Place on a baking sheet.

Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

You won't even need ketchup for them!
