Yes, you can make fries at home, and oven-roasting instead of deep-frying makes prep a lot easier and keeps the fries healthier. Most of the cook time is totally hands-off as the potatoes roast away in the oven. These fries are easy to make and are also very versatile: sprinkle with garlic or chili powder halfway through baking, or top with chopped fresh herbs before serving. Just be sure to line your pan with some foil to make sure cleanup is as simple as possible.
