Hearty Oven Fries
Oven fries are a great because you can vary the seasoning however you want. For an interesting change, make them spicy Cajun fries.
Serves: 5 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds unpeeled baking potatoes (about 3 extra large)
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten, or 2 tablespoons fat-free egg substitute
- Nonstick cooking spray
- COATING
- 2 teaspoons ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
- To make the coating, place all of the coating ingredients in a small dish, and stir to mix well. Set aside.
- Scrub the potatoes, dry well, and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick strips. Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the egg white or egg substitute over the potatoes, and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the coating over the potatoes, and toss again to coat.
- Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, and arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the sheet. Make sure that the potato strips aren't touching one another.
- Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray, and bake uncovered at 400°F for 15 minutes. Turn the potatoes, and bake for 15 additional minutes, or until nicely browned and tender. Serve hot.
- Variation: To make Crispy Cajun Fries, substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground paprika for the coating mixture.
