SO HOW'D IT GO?
These are great spicy fries. I cubed my potatoes and soaked them in cold water for about 5 minutes before draining and adding the oil and spices. After baking I wrapped them in a warm tortilla with salsa for breakfast. Yum!
These fries were DELICIOUS! My sons loved them. :)>>>

YUUUUUUUUM
These were a big hit. I did let them stay in the oven a little too long, but the overall taste was BETTER than a fried version. I DID add a little turmeric to the mix to give a little more depth in the spice department. Very good recipe!
Turned out awesome! I deep fried mine and tossed in spicy mustard since i didn't have any powdered... eyeballed everything... perfect :)
Holy wow! These are soooo good! I was only cooking for myself, so I only made one potato and cut down the spices to suit. I left out the dry mustard and didn't have any cayenne so I used a lil red pepper flakes. I cut them thinner so it only took about 15-20 mins to cook. Lovely! ;)b
Even after reading all the rave reviews I was skeptical when I was making these because I've had so much bad luck with oven fries in the past...but DAMN these are good!!! I left out the cayenne but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Next time I think I would add just a pinch of cayenne but otherwise I wouldn't change a thing!
After many tries at home-made fries, all of which just didn't do it for me, these were a huge success. I'm a chip/fry-aholic, so this will clearly be the new staple around here. Thanks for the terrific recipe!

This recipe was so delicious! The fine folk at UW-Madison made these fries as part of our Karaoke Kitchen, and they were a HUGE hit. They were a little spicy for some members, but we solved that problem by making several sheets of the fries with varying coating/amounts of the chili powder and cayenne. So so wonderful! I cannot tell you how popular these were! They were beautiful little bursts of delicious on our palettes!
OMG! These are great! I didn't have any mustard, so I didn't use any, and instead of oregano I used 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Great flavor! This recipe rocks!
