I am in love with the fancy fries they serve at some restaurants. French fries are one of my favorite foods to begin with, but when they are all fixed up with herbs and other yummy flavors, the delicious factor goes through the roof!
We don’t eat out all that often, so I made it my mission to create a recipe for my own fancy fries at home. However I made one big adjustment.
The restaurant fries that I have had in the past were all actually fried, but since I don't really like to fry anything, I decided to try them baked and see if they were just as good. They were! Woohoo!
These dressed-up, baked fries make a tasty side dish or even a satisfying snack. With only a few ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, you can whip up a batch of these babies and impress your friends and family with your gourmet skills! And with only 2 tablespoons of olive oil, you can munch on these guilt-free and still be able to enjoy dessert!
You can certainly peel the potatoes if you like, but I prefer to leave the skins on. They get such a nice texture and flavor when tossed in the olive oil and dill and baked nice and crispy on the outside, but soft and potato-y on the inside (is potato-y a word? How about potatoey? Ah, well, you know what I mean!)

I love dill and these fries look fantastic. I'm hoping that they do have a bit of a dill taste. Thank you for sharing at Over the Moon.

At first, I thought you were frying dill pickles. I haven't tried dill on my fries. I bet that that would be good!

I make oven baked fries at least twice a week, they are my favorites!! Yours look so good and I really love all the flavors you added! I can't wait to mix mine up and add some parsley and dill to them 🙂
