Baked Dill Fries

Baked Dill Fries | DizzyBusyandHungry.com - Delicious, guilt-free fries dressed-up with olive oil and dill weed and baked until crispy on the outside!
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 hardly ever fry anything anymore, baking is less messy and since it is usually healthier too is seems like a no-brainer. 🙂 I am so happy you enjoyed them and thanks for stopping by to let me know!

  10. I have been eating fried pickles for as long as I can remember. Of course, not all the time. I can remember when they first appeared in the south, and then when I later moved to the north they were hard to find. It is a little better now. I have tried a few faux fried recipes and none turned out very well. We do our own pickles every year so I am always looking for ways to use the 90 jars we seem to always get, besides just eating them. My husband and the kiddo love their pickles. In a day I can make enough jars of pickles to last an entire year! We still have quite a few jars left and before I know it, it will be picking season again! Pinning this recipe and stopping by from The Yuck Stops Here link party.
