    I make these often. I put the potatoes in a plastic bag and then add olive oil and seasonings, just squish the bag, then pour onto the sheet pan. I often use steak seasoning or just start grabbing jars from the spice rack.

    These were super!! And so much better than drowning the poor things in hot oil!!! I just used garlic powder, salt and pepper and they were wonderful!! Super easy to make and tasted great! Thanks for the awesome recipe!

    Lindsey & I made these and served them with Honey Mustard & Ketchup — the condiments are definitely worth it if you want to splurge. Otherwise, plain ol' salt & pepper (and maybe garlic salt) work great.
