Many of us like potato fries/chips, and I’m not an exception. 😀 Yes, I know that they are not healthy.. But if your diet is balanced and healthful most of the time, you can have one cheat day during a week or so. However, it’s certainly preferable to make your own homemade fries. And I mean roasted fries instead of those deep-fried and greasy. My secret to great and tasty fries is a special spice mix, that I prepare myself: for that you need to combine rosemary, turmeric, paprika and some other spices (look at the recipe below). This seasoning suits perfectly to both regular and sweet potatoes. Once tried, you might want to make a larger jar next time! 😉
Enjoy your aromatic snack! 
Oven fries and homemade potato seasoning
Oven roasted fries
Sweet or regular potatoes

- Wash and peel potatoes. Cut them into slices (or wedges if you like), put in a large bowl of cold water. Soak for a 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
- Drain potatoes and pat dry on a kitchen towels (or use kitchen paper).
- Put potatoes on a baking tray, generously sprinkle with potato seasoning and drizzle with a bit of oil. Spread into one layer.
- Bake for 30 minutes. If you have a broiler – broil it for 6-7 minutes more.
- Enjoy as is, or with your favourite sauce or as a side dish to chicken or meat.

Love your potato seasoning! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
I love your potato seasoning and will try it the next time I make sweet potato fries. Homemade seasoning can add so much to recipes.
Thank you, Gerlinde! You can use this spice with regular potatoes as well 🙂
Wow Mila, this definitely looks amazing! I probably wouldn’t go for ordinary baked fries ever again, love those spices!
Sounds great! With all those spices you can’t resist any fries! 😀
Delicious!
Yep! 😀 Thanks for the like!
Wow, I’m impressed with how even and beautifully golden these homemade fries are! I’ve never even attempted something like this at home because I figured I wouldn’t be able to get good results, but this definitely looks worth trying!
No need to be afraid, practice and practice! 😀 Even if you won’t get the super crispy fries, you would enjoy it anyway, especially with seasoning prepared with love! 😉
I love your flavorful potato fries seasoning ,Mila! So yum !!
Thanks a lot, Freda! 🙂
Delicious!!! Love the styling
Thanks for liking and commenting, Brendon! 😉
Agree with the other lovely comments – what a special seasoning mix – thanks Mila!
Thank you, Laura! I love playing with spices 🙂
Wow! Can I have all of these? 😀 And that potato seasoning – awesome, Mila.
Why not!😄 thanks Jhuls! I love playing with spices 😊
I love making roasted potatoes, and will definitely try your spice mix soon!! Thank you for sharing it!
Sounds great! Hope you will love it, Jenny! 🙂
I love your seasoning mix for the fries! It seems that is the part that I can never get right when I make my own at home. Bookmarking this so that I can use next time 🙂
C’mon! I’m sure you can mix your own seasoning too😉just combine your favourite spices and that’s all!😀
Love fries and this spice mix looks great
It’s so hard to resist against fried/baked potatoes! 😀
Oh my goodness. These spice mix must add a lot of flavors to the potatoes, not to mention the aroma when it’s being roasted. You are right, once a week cheat with the potatoes is okay. 🙂 Thank you for sharing the recipe. 🙂
Can’t agree more, Ray! All those spices create an amazing aroma!
Thanks so much for reading! 🙂
Very elegant looking indeed. I fancy perfecting the oven fries as I tend to steer clear of the deep fried as much as possible.
Thank you so much, Conor! Agree, it’s more difficult to get good and crispy oven-baked fries, but they are still tasty, so why not to make it. 🙂
Those look wonderful. Have you ever tried them with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese?
Noooo, what an awesome idea! Will do it next time! Thanks a lot😊
I have a weakness for fresh French Fries, especially Sweet Potato Fries, and I love that you baked your fries!
These fries look so good, and now I have a craving for some good fries!
