Ingredients

Fries

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 pounds Russet potatoes, cut into thick wedges

Red Robin–Style Seasoning

1 tablespoon Red Robin–style seasoning, divided

3 tablespoons kosher salt

1 tablespoon instant tomato soup mix

2 teaspoons chili powder

¼ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the Oven & Prepare Pans
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.

Make the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, instant tomato soup mix, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper. Mix well.

Cut the Potatoes
Slice Russet potatoes into thick, uniform steak-fry wedges for even cooking.

Season the Potatoes
Divide wedges evenly between the two baking sheets. Drizzle each pan with half of the vegetable oil. Sprinkle each with about ¼ tablespoon of the seasoning. Toss directly on the pan until evenly coated.

Arrange for Crisping
Spread fries into a single layer, making sure they are not touching.

Add Remaining Seasoning
Sprinkle the remaining ½ tablespoon seasoning evenly over the fries (divided between pans). Adjust to taste.

Bake
Bake for 40 minutes, flipping fries halfway through. Rotate the pans top to bottom for even browning.

Serve
Remove from oven and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crisp fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before seasoning.

Adjust spice level by increasing or decreasing chili powder.

Serve with ranch, fry sauce, or ketchup for the full restaurant-style experience.
