healthy homemade french fries


Our old neighbors came over tonight for dinner and I made hamburgers, french fries, broccoli, asparagus and cucumbers.

I wanted to share a fantastic and healthy way to make french fries that you won't feel bad about eating!

Peel 4-5 potatoes, cut in half lengthwise. Using the Vidalia Chop Wizard (see earlier blog), cut each potato half using the large chopper. Place on a silpat lined cookie sheet (you can also use aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray).

Preheat the oven to 450. Drizzle olive oil and Lawry's seasoning salt on the potatoes and toss gently with your hands to coat the potatoes. Bake for 15-18 minutes and turn using a spatula. Bake for an additional 15 minutes until crisp.

The potatoes were crisp but NOT greasy and so delicious, we all enjoyed a great dinner together.

Tomorrow we are going to see the elephants at the circus!

I do a version of this: cutting the potatoes by hand very slim. A little olive oil and canola oil, mix, put on parchment paper. Some salt - but it´s better to add the salt after.

Everyone this summer was very impressed with my homemade fries, and they actuallty taste better than the restaurant kind.

Love you blog!
