Ingredients

Fries

• 2 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon avocado or vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dried herbs such as Italian herb mix
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs such as thyme and/or rosemary

Dip

• 1 cup thick plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 to 1 cup fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, and chives
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Wash and dry potatoes very well. Cut potatoes on a diagonal into 1/4-inch slices. Cut slices into 1/4-inch sticks. Kids can help with a child-safe knife once potatoes are in slices. Place cut fries into a large bowl.
3. Add oil, salt, and whatever dried and/or fresh herbs you are using. Toss well to mix.
4. Lay fries out on a baking sheet. Place them at least 1/4-inch apart. If you don’t have enough room on one pan, place remaining fries on another pan.
5. Roast fries for 10 minutes then flip each over and roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until all sides are golden brown. Serve warm.
6. For the dip, add yogurt, fresh herbs, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Serve with fries.
