Rosemary Chili Baked Fries

French Fries. A weakness, a past time, a luxury and extremely fattening and unhealthy. I am not by any means saying that I don't eat fried French Fries, that would be hypercritical of me since, they are the first thing I order outside. Fries with Steak, Fries with Pizza, Fries with Milkshakes, Fries alone. But at home I try my hardest to keep frying at bay. To be honest I place Baked Fries and Fried Fries in the same category in spirit, but to be honest, Baked Fries are much more flavorful.
I side these Baked Fries with almost anything at home. For Italian dinners I just replace the Rosemary with some Basil, for Mediterranean dinners I just add some Paprika and Cumin. Oh the endless  things you can do in the kitchen. Imagination my friends, use your imagination. Sometimes imagination goes wrong, and that's OK. That's how we learn. Some of my favorite dishes were born from trial and error.

Serves 6 Generously.
What You'll Need:

• 10 Idaho Potato's Unpeeled Thinly Sliced (Vertically)
• 1 Tsp Dry Rosemary (Or a stem of fresh)
• 1/2 Tsp Crushed Chili
• 1/2 Tsp Crushed Black Pepper
• Kosher Salt to Taste
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place all your sliced Potatoes in a large bowl, add your Spices and Olive Oil. Make sure everything is well combined. Pour onto baking sheet, I like to cover mine with parchment paper first, and into the oven. They should bake for about an hour, it really depends on your oven. Once they are half baked, grab a spatula and carefully flip them over, so they don't burn. They should be golden on the outsides and soft in the insides. 

Voila! Enjoy!
