Oven Fries

Ingredients

2 russet potatoes - (about ½ lb each)

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/8 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper, or to taste

Scrub potatoes and pat dry. Cut each lengthwise into sticks about 1/2-inch thick.

In a 10- by 15-inch nonstick pan, melt butter over low heat. Mix in paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Add potato sticks to pan and turn in seasoned butter to coat, then arrange sticks slightly apart in a single layer.

Bake potatoes in a 425 degree oven until browned, turning once, about 25 minutes total.

Season potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Easy to bake in the oven along with a main course!
