Recipe Box, Baked Waffle Fries with Sour Cream and Onion
This is so simple and it just might be, simply, my favorite potatoes ever
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, full of oven roasted good flavor, paired with some cool sour cream laced with green onion…
Trust me, it’s heaven!
Cut red potatoes in half and score deeply, making squares, being careful not to cut all the way through. Place potatoes cut side up on a foil lined pan. Separate cuts gently with your fingers to help potatoes open up during cooking. Drizzle with olive oil or spray with olive oil spray and season well with kosher salt and pepper.
Roast potatoes at 425 about 40 minutes, or until brown and crispy around the edges
They tend to spread even more as they cook, so you get lots of crispy edges complimenting the softer potato centers
A dollop of light sour cream showered with green onion slices
and you will be so glad you made these!
These are a great side dish to anything, steak, chicken, sandwiches, or the Taco Chili Roll Bowl pictured above
and a super appetizer for a Super Bowl party!
Using olive oil makes these baked fries a great healthier choice. You may never want a boring old french fry again after tasting these!
Here’s the recipe:

It’s really not too bad Liz, use olive oil cooking spray and just a tiny drizzle of oil, and 1 little ole T of light sour cream is just enough to make you feel sinful without being so!
Sounds great! Gonna give it a try as soon as I pick up some potatoes:@)
This sounds perfect for a yummy appetizer, side dish or main dish with a scoop of chili. We need to try these out. I like that they are baked too – helps with plans to take off holiday and vacation pounds!
My kingdom for a potato! These look wonderful Jenna! I could eat these by themselves or with the chili spooned on top! I was reading Liz’s comment above, I use Daisy light sour cream, for half the fat and fewer calories. I can’t tell the difference anymore š
Oh my, do these look delicious! I must try these and soon! Pinning š
Hope you enjoy! Thanks Deborah
Why have I never thought of this? This is exactly how I cut my baked potatoes when I eat them! You’re a genius, and I’m making these awesome potatoes! My favorite vegetable. š
