Oven-Baked Country Fries

These fries are what I made to go along with our Hawaiian Turkey Burgers (see post above). Pretty tasty!!

They were a nice alternative to, say, frozen french fries. You can't beat fresh over frozen! The seasoning was really good. I especially liked the Parmesan cheese flavor mixed into everything. The timing worked out really well too. It didn't take me long to prepare the fries, and in the amount of time it took for them to bake in the oven, we got the grill fired up, and prepared and cooked the burgers. Everything got done at the same time! There were a great side-kick to the burgers!
