    Parmesan Rosemary Oven Fries

    These Parmesan Rosemary Oven Fries are nearly impossible to resist because they are coated in grated parmesan and rosemary before baking.  It gives the fries a flavorful crunch.

    Last Sunday Frank and I ate so many of these in the middle of the afternoon that we didn't want dinner.  It's not the most well-rounded meal all on its own, but it was most definitely satisfying.

    These oven fries were my pick for this month's Secret Recipe Club.  The recipe is from Daily Dish Recipes, a blog by Nicole's that I've been following for a long time.   She has five - FIVE - teenagers!   She somehow manages all that comes with being a mom to that crew while still making beautiful family friendly recipes, like this Texas Sheet Cake and this Moist Sweet Cornbread.  

    Finally though, I just couldn't resist these which I adapted just a bit from Nicole's Garlic Parmesan Oregano version.  If you've never made oven fries like this, you must.  That crisp coating makes all the difference. If you are looking for a more breakfasty potato option, try my tried and true home fries method for some golden, crispy deliciousness.

      Yum Jess! I actually just cooked myself some fries for lunch (does that make me odd?). I know what's for lunch tomorrow!

        Not odd at all - I TOTALLY get it! I'd probably make something fun like that for myself all the time if I worked from home - it would be so nice just to whip up whatever you want on a whim!

      Why oh why can't I order takeout from you? I am so crazy about fries and prefer baked since they're healthier. Ate some parmesan fries just last week that I know did not come anywhere close to yours.

        Most of the time I prefer baked too! They do taste so much more like actual potatoes - lol.

      I second the motion that we be able to order take-out from you, Jess. Can you overnight these? 🙂

      Cooking from your blog was so much fun. You are a very talented cook, photographer, and writer. Thanks for being so spectacular at what you do!

      P.S. - I also made your Soft Vanilla Cookies with Nutella Filling...I will be posting those later this week. My children and their friends literally ate all 2 dozen of them within 15 minutes!

      I love oven fries (I usually just use salt and pepper) but with parmesan and rosemary??? I really don't think I'd be able to stop eating them! And now I kinda want fries ... for breakfast (which clearly is not happening!) haha

      Looks delicious! I make oven-roasted potatoes regularly, but the parmesan would definitely add a little extra allure.

      I love roasted fries! They are versatile and go with so many dinners...or just eat them by themselves. 🙂 These look amazing.

      They look great! I should try to make them before it gets too cold to use the leaves from my rosemary plant outside. 🙂

        Oh, I'm so jealous of your rosemary plant! I wish I could grow herbs...but I am sadly lacking in any bit of outside space.

      My husband and I are the same way Jess. When we eat too much of something, fries, dips, nachos... we end up not eating dinner. 😀 haha! These fries sound like one of those things we can eat a lot of and not have a meal. 🙂 Love parmesan and rosemary. They're the perfect combo. Pinning! 🙂
