I loved these! Great idea. I used reg potatoes because it was all i had.

I used Russets, medium to small, cut them into eighths so they were perfect large fry size. Tinkered quite a bit with the spices based on what I had on hand and my kids' tastes. Used a little cumin, seasoned salt, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, pepper melange. Cooked for the full 45 minutes, turning every 15 as directed. After that, topped them with some shredded nacho cheese and put back in the oven for another three minutes. Big hit with the kids, and I have to say I enjoyed them very much. This is fundamentally a fine recipe. Toss them in oil and use a good mix of spices depending on what you like and you will be happy.

I mixed sweet and regular potatoes as someone else suggested, and they were fabulous. I took them to a cookout and they were one of the first dishes finished. These will become a regular staple at my house.

I made these last night for my boyfriend and I for a sort of make shift dinner. They were so good and easy. The only thing I did differently was I added steak seasoning to the potatoes so I wouldn't have to measure out the salt, pepper, and all that jazz. I also meant to add the garlic but I totally forgot. They were delicious anyway. My boyfriend absolutely loved them!

Just make sure there is enough salt and they are crispy on the edges.

very tasty. my kids realy liked them. they needed a few more mins in the oven to crisp up but overall very good.

These were really good. they cooked in about 30 min, also.Will make again

Love these. I add a little more cayenne and I add a very small side of sour cream to cut the heat. These really are very delicious and very easy to make.

I dont like potatoes very much but I made this for my husband (no way would my 3 and 4 year old boys try it) We both really liked them - I made them with ranch dressing as a dip and it was a hit. Will make again - I also followed the recipe exactly as listed *** Update - new review - my now 5 year old son loves these and I make them when ever I can - If I dont have shallots on hand I use diced onion instead thanks for a great recipe

These were a hit. I did not use a lot of cayenne and it was still spicy.

I sliced some thin like potatoe chips. The larger the slices the less time you have to spend flipping them. I also doubled the spices but kept the amount of oil the same. And for quick clean up I baked them on parchment paper so I didn't have to wash the cookie sheet.

Also great if you cook them on the grill, just make sure to cook the potatoes a bit before grilling.

Wow! These were fantastic! Very easy to make. I used russet potatoes because that is what I had. I put in just over half of the cayenne pepper the recipe calls for because I was feeding a 6 year old. I'm glad I did. If I had put in 1/2 tsp, they would have been way too spicy for everyone. I also didn't have any shallots, so I used dried onion flakes (I let them soak in the olive oil for a few minutes before mixing the rest of the ingredients). I headed the warnings of others and used less oil and watched cooking time. I think I ended up cooking mine about 40 min. They turned out perfect- some a little crispy on the edges, some soft throughout. I will make these again and again!

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. As other raters suggested, watch the time, mine cooked faster than anticipated. Last time we made without cajun spices and used Old Bay seasoning (omit salt). Either way, they came out great.

Will make again for sure. WATCH THE TIME. I have a convection oven, set it for 400 and checked at 30 min. They were VERY dark brown. They still tasted good. Will watch the time more closely next time. I am sure they will be even better next time.

Wow, these are great! Nice and crispy too. I used only 1 shallot - but excellent.
