Blue potatoes, with their unique and vibrant blue-purple skin and creamy white interior, are a delightful addition to any kitchen. Their naturally lower starch content compared to regular potatoes gives them a slightly waxy texture that holds its shape well, making them excellent for oven-frying. When roasted to perfection, blue potato oven fries retain their vibrant color and tender texture, offering a delightful crunch on the outside and a fluffy interior. The result is a delectable and visually stunning side dish that will elevate any meal. With their abundance of flavor and nutrients, blue potato oven fries are a must-try for any potato enthusiast or adventurous home cook.

BLUE POTATO OVEN FRIES
I found these great blue potatoes in my local farmers' market. They were so pretty that I wanted to showcase them in a simple way; hence, this delightful yet simple recipe! You can substitute any potato really. I think fingerlings or reds would be just as good.

Steps:
- To make the blue cheese dip: In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, buttermilk, shallot, lemon juice and zest, Worcestershire, salt, and celery seed. Pulse until evenly combined but still slightly chunky. Stir in the parsley and season with pepper, to taste. Transfer the dip to a bowl and refrigerate for the flavors to come together while you make the fries.
- To make the fries: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put a baking sheet on the center rack and preheat for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the potatoes lengthwise into wedges by eighths, leaving the skins on. In a large bowl toss the wedges with the olive oil.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and arrange the potato wedges cut-side down on it, keeping them evenly spaced. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the remaining oil in the bowl over the potatoes (it helps them get crispy). Bake until browned and crisp, about 30 minutes. Transfer the fries to a serving platter and season with salt, to taste. Serve immediately with the blue cheese dip.

Steps:
- OVEN: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Baking time is 35 minutes. No need to turn the fries! MAKING OVEN FRIES: Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray if you are using a regular cookie sheet. I use an Aire Gourmet baking sheet, and if you like these fries, it is worth the investment of buying one. Because olive oil does not smoke at high temperatures when using this baking sheet, and the fries are a gorgeous golden brown. (I prefer to use parchment paper, which I don't grease, and it makes the removal of the fries a snap to prepare from oven to serving bowl.)
- Soak the cut potatoes in ice water for at least 30 minutes. Don't skip this step as it makes them crisp.
- Blot cut potatoes on a clean tea towel to remove moisture.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a plastic bag.
- Add potatoes tossing and kneading lightly to coat.
- Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil. Tossing and kneading again to coat.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown. No need to turn potatoes during cooking. Be sure to check them often to see how they are doing. Remove any potatoes into a paper towel-lined bowl that get done early so they don't get overdone. I also like to use parchment paper for easy cleanup! Enjoy!
- Here is how they look!
- MAKING POTATO WEDGES: Prepare your potatoes as you would for oven fries, except cut your potatoes into wedges and, follow the rest of the steps in the recipe. When it comes time to bake the wedges, put them on parchment paper to bake and allow a few minutes extra to make sure they are done. No need to turn during baking. Enjoy!
- Cook's Tip: Don't throw out the leftover fries, or wedges! Wrap them in tinfoil and refrigerate. Leftover fries and wedges make great tasting eggs! Here is how I make mine. Chop up the leftover fries or wedges and lightly brown them in a little olive oil, turn them over and grate a little cheese over the hot potatoes. I use about 1 tablespoon sharp cheddar. Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet and add two eggs, scramble them and gently fold into the potatoes, cook a minute and flip them over, cook one minute more and turn out onto a plate. Add salt and pepper if desired. Good eating! Enjoy!
- Update! Newest Version: When I am in a hurry, and we need potatoes really fast for a meal, I zap a large potato with peeling on in the microwave until almost done, then I cut it into chunks. I use a cast iron skillet and put olive oil in it, not much, put in the taters and season them with the same seasonings as the fries (except the Parmesan cheese because it scorches). As soon as they are nicely browned, I remove them to a stainless steel bowl (it keeps them hot) and toss them with the Parmesan cheese. Voila! You have delicious "roasted" potatoes with your meal. Great with bacon and eggs, too!
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes work best for fries, as they have a high starch content that makes them crispy when baked.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
- Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and add flavor.
- Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: This will prevent the fries from cooking evenly.
- Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Blue potato oven fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional french fries. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a snack or side dish. With their vibrant blue color and crispy texture, these fries are sure to be a hit with family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious snack, give blue potato oven fries a try.
