Doesn't the seasoning get brushed off if you brush the potatoes with oil after you put on the seasoning mixture? I would think that the seasonings would stick to the potatoes better if they were already oiled, or am I missing something?

I served this to my family and they loved it. I've always have trouble making homemade oven fries. They usually came out undercooked and burnt on the outside. I had no trouble at all with this recipe. The potatoes were tender and not exactly like french fries "crispy", more like roasted potatoes. However, I was pleased with the results.I think the ice water definitely made the difference. I am going to use this recipe often.
