Who doesn’t love french fries? I bake the frozen ones for the kids all the time, but I’d never tried to make them myself. It wasn’t difficult at all though. I unsure if the kids would eat my Thyme and Parmesan Fries, because they can be funny with seasonings, but they loves them just as much as Kevin and I.
We don’t have a fryer, but there were still quite a few recipes not requiring one in the Frites: Over 30 Gourmet Recipes
According to the recipe you should bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, but mine took longer, about 30 minutes and I raised the temperature to about 400 degrees for the last 10 minutes.

- 2 lb nicola potatoes I used Yukon Gold
- 2 tsp parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- sea salt crystals
- freshly ground pepper
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel potatoes and soak in cold water. Rinse thoroughly and cut thick wide slices so that you can then cut them down into thin french fry sticks.
- Rinse the sticks again and dry carefully with a clean cloth. Place in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until coated.
- Sprinkle with the Parmesan and the thyme and place the oiled frites into a freezer bag. Close tightly and shake thoroughly to disperse the seasonings evenly. Open the bag and add salt and pepper and then close and shake thoroughly again.
- Spread out onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Cook in preheated oven 20-30 minutes. Check the seasonings at the end of the cooking time and enjoy immediately.

I have not made home made fries although I have brushed frozen fries with oil and herbs and got them more crispy, So I would like to try to do it completely from scratch.
Now that’s a fun way to eat fries! I laughed at frites, brings back memories of me not knowing how to order food in Paris. ;)
What other potatoes would you recommend for these? I can’t get Yukon very easily here.
