Instructions
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into four wedges.
- Combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt; toss with potatoes, coating evenly.
- Bake potatoes on a greased baking sheet at 450°F for 15 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, try adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the potato coating. If you prefer a healthier option, substitute Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise in the dipping sauce. Make sure to cut the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking and consider soaking them in water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which can help them crisp up better in the oven.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted fries are perfect as a side dish for burgers, grilled chicken, or sandwiches. They also pair wonderfully with a refreshing salad, such as Marge T.'S Croutons For Caesar Salad, for a complete meal. Consider serving them as an appetizer at parties with various dipping sauces for a fun snack option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roasted fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of baking potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used for a healthier alternative with a slightly different flavor. Adjust the baking time as sweet potatoes may cook faster, so keep an eye on them to achieve the desired crispness.
How can I make the honey mustard sauce vegan?
To make the honey mustard sauce vegan, simply replace the mayonnaise with a vegan mayonnaise alternative and use agave syrup instead of honey. This will give you a similar taste while keeping it plant-based.
Can I prepare the fries ahead of time?
You can prepare the fries ahead by cutting them and tossing them with the seasoning. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to bring them to room temperature before putting them in the oven for even cooking.
