Tasty Tuesday: The Duggar's Oven Fries

The book "The Duggars: Twenty and Counting" contains this recipe. It has become one of my simple go to side dishes. It is cheap and easy - the potatos cook quickly in the oven and are a complete hit with the children and my husband! So if you are hard pressed for what to go with your chicken or beef - add this to the plate and your family will cheerfully eat them and be stuffed (which for me is the goal - or else one hour later I hear those famous words "I'mmmmmmmm hungry!!!)


Recipe for Duggar's Oven Fries

• One potato per person you are serving, sliced lengthwise
• Olive Oil (Oops - I'm guilty I used vegetable oil as seen in the photo!)
• Garlic powder, salt and pepper (or chili pepper if desired)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Rub the potato with 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or put the oil in a plastic bag and toss with the potato slices). Sprinkle on the seasoning of your choice. Spread the slices on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown and fork tender and voila - golden steak fries! ENJOY!!!!

Maybe it seems late in life for me to have discovered such a simple side dish - but I'm thankful I gave it a try - it's jazzed up many meals this summer!
