Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 medium baking potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon, zest of
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Wash but don't peel potatoes.
Quarter potatoes lengthwise, then cut quarters in half (also lengthwise)- or cut in 1/4-inch slices.
Toss potatoes with oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, lemon zest, garlic and oregano.
Spread potato wedges on a shallow, lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for about 35 minutes, or until tender but crisp and browned around the edges.
Correct seasoning.
To serve, I like to squeeze more lemon juice on the potatoes just before serving!

Tips:

Choose the right lemons: Meyer lemons are a sweeter variety of lemon and work best for this recipe. If you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons, but add a little more sugar to the breading.
Slice the lemons thinly: This will help the lemon fries crisp up in the oven.
Coat the lemon slices in the breading mixture: Make sure the lemon slices are evenly coated so that they crisp up nicely.
Bake the lemon fries in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly.
Don't overcook the lemon fries: They should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serve the lemon fries immediately: They are best when served warm.

Conclusion:

Baked Meyer lemon fries are a delicious and unique way to enjoy lemons. They are easy to make and can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or dessert. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these lemon fries are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
