This is a lower fat alternative to french fries.  This version is from Epicurious.  Their version calls for red potatoes, but we frequently use russets.  Many recipes also call for garlic.

Ingredients

5 medium potatoes, cut into french fry size pieces.  No need to peel.
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup fresh rosemary
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp black pepper

Preparation

Slice the potatoes, unpeeled into French fries sized pieces.

Mix the other ingredients in a small blender. Blend at low speed to break up the rosemary.

Toss the potatoes with the seasons.

Arrange on parchment covered baking sheets.  The weight of the baking sheet can make a significant difference in the roasting.  A heavier sheet cooks more quickly and tend to brown quickly on the bottom sides of the potato pieces.  Light weight and aluminum sheets tend to require longer baking times.

Bake at 450°for 20 minutes turning after 10 minutes.

Serve with catsup or just plain.
