Baked Rosemary Steak Fries





These are so flavorful and yummy!  I'm not a fan of steak fries.  I love crunchy and crispy fries and steak fries are usually too fat for me, however these I loved!






Start by washing your potatoes.  I used red potatoes but this will work with any kind you prefer.


When in a rush (like I usually am!) you can wrap these up in paper towels and microwave for a few minutes to start cooking the potatoes.  I put these 5 potatoes in the microwave for about 5 minutes.  Just enough time so they are slightly cooked but not mushy.  They need to still have some firmness or you'll make a mess when you cut the fries!  

Cut each potato in half and from there cut your steak fries!


Once sliced, put in a large bowl and season with a drizzle of olive oil, about 1-2 tsp of salt and a little bit of freshly ground pepper.  
Now you're ready to add your rosemary!  I cut 2 sticks of rosemary from my garden
It's easy to get the rosemary off the stem.  Just hold the top of the stem and run your hand down the stem in the opposite direction the rosemary grows.  You don't have to pick each rosemary leaf off individually!



Then chop the rosemary up and add it to the bowl & mix


Line a cookie sheet with tin foil with the shiny side facing up and spread out the potatoes evenly on the tin foil


Bake in our preheated oven at 375 degrees F for about 15 minutes.  Continuously checking on them and flipping them.  Towards the end of the cooking time (last 5 minutes or so) turn your broiler on (low if close to the broiler and high if your oven rack is farther away from your broiler).  Continue to flip the potatoes while under the broiler so both sides get nice and browned.  Once at desired browness your potatoes are ready to be served!


Enjoy!
