Low Fat French Fries Recipes

EASY CRISPY OVEN FRIES (LOW FAT, LOW CAL)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a non-stick baking sheet w/ non-stick cooking spray.
• In a lg. bowl, combine potatoes, 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and all of sugar w/ cold water to cover. Soak 15 min, drain and blot dry.
• In another lg. bowl, toss potatoes w/ oil and paprika. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
• Bake, turning potatoes over as they brown, until cooked through and crisp. (Could take anywhere from 25-45 min., depending on how you cut your potatoes and your oven. My fries only took about 25 minute I checked on my potatoes and turned them about every 5 minute or so. You will see them browning and hear them sizzling.) Sprinkle w/ the remaining 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
