Recipe: Mexi-fries (not Senor Froggy Bruchi's)

OVEN-BAKED MEXI-FRIES

1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes (about 7 medium), peeled cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Combine oil and remaining ingredients. Add potato strips and toss well.

Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

NOTES:
Be sure to use baking potatoes (russet). Thin skinned potatoes, which have a higher sugar content than baking potatoes, will burn on the outside before the inside is cooked, resulting in soggy fries.
