Oven Fried Potatoes for 2

March 7, 2010

This is one of my favorite ways to fix potatoes. They need very little oil and are delicious on their own. Of course, you can also eat them with ketchup or your favorite French fry sauce.

I like these best with russet potatoes, but Yukon Golds are also good prepared this way.

(We bought Yukon Gold seed potatoes yesterday. I can’t wait for our home-grown potato crop!)
