How to Make Italian Style Oven Fries

Soak 8 ounces of cremini mushrooms in 1 cup of lukewarm water for 20 minutes.
Drain the mushrooms and squeeze out excess water thoroughly.
Finely chop the soaked mushrooms.
Cut 2 pounds of russet potatoes lengthwise into 8 wedges each.
In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges, chopped mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 60 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through for even cooking and browning.
Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
