My crispy Mediterranean Oven Baked Fries recipe doesn’t require much work! Slice, season, and bake! You can enjoy them with baked fish, shrimp, grilled steak, or salad! 😉

Oven Baked Fries

Which season is this recipe best for?

While oven-baked fries are a timeless comfort food suitable for any season.

I love to make them any time I want something really delicious and healthy!

Where can I buy the ingredients for this recipe?

You can find all the ingredients needed at your local grocery store or farmer’s market.

Look for fresh, high-quality potatoes, preferably russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture.

The spices and herbs can typically be found in the spice aisle, while extra virgin olive oil is often located in the oil section.

Can I substitute the ingredients in this recipe?

While I recommend sticking to my original recipe for the most authentic Mediterranean flavor experience, there are some substitutions you can consider.

If you prefer a milder heat, you can omit the chili flakes or reduce the amount to suit your taste.

Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices such as dill, parsley, dried basil, or even red paprika to customize the flavor profile to your liking.

Additionally, you can explore alternative cooking oils, such as avocado oil which is fantastic and healthy, or grapeseed oil, although they may change the taste.

Can I make this recipe part of a menu?

Absolutely! These Oven Baked Fries make a delightful addition to any menu, whether you’re hosting a casual party with your friends or preparing a special meal for loved ones.

For an appetizer, start your meal with delicious Bacon Wrapped Asparagus or Ahi Tuna Salad.

You can serve them with Veal Cutlets as the main dish.

For a dessert, go with my Apple Cinanamon Cake, Kiwi Pavlova, Chocolate Raspberry Tart, or Raspberry Pavlova.

Which drinks would you pair it with?

To complement the bold flavors of these Mediterranean Oven Baked Fries, I recommend pairing them with refreshing beverages.

Crisp white wines, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, Encruzado provide a perfect balance to the richness of the fries.

Keep in mind, that light and fruity red wines, like Beaujolais or Grenache, offer a complementary contrast.

For non-alcoholic options, consider serving sparkling water infused with fresh lemon or herbal iced tea for a refreshing accompaniment.

How long can I store this recipe leftovers?

If you happen to have any leftovers (although they’re so delicious, they may not last long!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

To reheat, simply place the fries on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.

Recipe tips & tricks

  • To achieve perfectly crispy fries, be sure to cut the potatoes into uniform shapes to ensure even cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, as this can cause the fries to steam rather than crisp up. Spread them out in a single layer for optimal results.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning blend to suit your taste preferences. Add more or less of the herbs and spices to enjoy your flavor combination.

Enjoy the Mediterranean Oven Baked Fries recipe!

Steps

1. Prepare potatoes

2 min

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under the running water. You can peel them if desired.

2. Cut potatoes

3 min

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries or wedges. Try to make them as uniform as possible to ensure even cooking.

3. Season potatoes

2 min

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, chili flakes (if preferred), rosemary, and oregano. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning mixture.

4. Bake Potatoes

30 min

Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.

5. Serve

1 min

Once done, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Your Mediterranean Oven Baked Fries are ready. Enjoy!
