We make these all. the. time. They are a simple and fun side dish that goes great with barbecue chicken, pork chops, chicken nuggets, burgers or fish. Sometimes I use the same seasoning on sweet potatoes fries. It works just as well.
My friend Alberta made sweet potato fries for me once and she seasoned them with things I had never considered using on baked fries. They were delicious. I was in love. No more Plain Jane fries around here. The best part is they are so tasty my kids don’t even worry about the fact that they are eating carrots and/or sweet potatoes. he he he

A healthy alternative to eating french fries. Feel free to adjust amounts of different seasonings, you really can't mess these up! The corn starch adds just a little more crispy-ness to the fries but can be left out.
