Crispy Oven Fries
5 Weight Watchers Points+
If I had to pick my one weakness when it comes to food, I would have to be French Fries. I just adore them, could eat them everyday. I love both regular and sweet potato equally. I have a hard time not ordering them at restaurants; I can sometimes refrain if I have made oven fries during the week. They are a great alternative, and so much better for you.
It has taken me a while to get the perfect oven fry. Two key things, you need to use Russet Baking potatoes. Second, you need to pre-cut and soak the potatoes in cold water ahead of time. I usually soak them anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The result is a perfect crispy french fry…delicious.
Ingredients:
- 4 Russet Baking Potatoes
- 2 TBS olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Equipment
- 1 bowl
- French fry cutter, or good knife
- 2 Kitchen towels
- baking sheet
First Cut the potatoes into match sticks either using a French Fry cutter or a sharp knife.
Place them in a bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Pre-heat your oven to 450. Drain the potatoes and lay them out a kitchen towel. Place another towel over the potatoes and dry them well.
Place them back in a bowl and coat with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Lay them out on a baking sheet (coated with cooking spray) in a single layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them over half way through.
These would be good with any variety of spices…Garlic, Cajun, parmesan cheese. Go Crazy! They are guilt free 
Enjoy!!
