Baked Fries

I saw a picture of these potatoes in an ad in one of my cooking magazines. Unfortunately it didn't have the recipe with it... but it did have a website! http://www.potatogoodness.com/. It is a website with a ton of information about health, and to show that potatoes aren't bad for you! It also has a wide variety of recipes using potatoes, with a section specifically for quick and healthy ones.

These are really similar to the rosemary potato recipe I threw together a while ago, but it never hurts to have variations of the same thing :) We ate them without salt and they were still great. To top it off the baby couldn't get enough of them! I added 4 more cloves of garlic, pressed it, and added it to the mixture with the olive oil and thyme. We love garlic and it couldn't hurt ;)

6 russet potatoes (or any potato of your choice)
6 cloves of garlic
8 sprigs fresh thyme, picked from the stems
5 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place whole potatoes (do not poke) in a microwave safe, covered dish. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes. Let cool.
• Cut each potato length wise in to 8 wedges.
• In a large mixing bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, thyme, garlic cloves, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Arrange potatoes and garlic cloves in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring half way through.
