  • Shake potatoes in bag until they are evenly coated with oil.

  • Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Pour potatoes onto baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.

Notes

*You can prepare cheese sauce ahead of time and warm the portion needed just before the fries are done. Or you can chop all of the vegetables at once and prepare the cheese sauce while the fries are baking.
**If you are using a conventional oven instead of a convection toaster oven, you may need to allow more time for cooking.
