Let’s face it french fries that have been deep fried are high in calories. If you’d like a french fry lower in fat and calories just bake them. I’m all for low fat french fries! I recently purchased a Nonstick French Fry Baking Pan which allows the heat to rise form the bottom through holes in the pan, allowing browning to occur on both sides. A little olive oil spray makes them taste like regular french fries. UPDATE: I have successfully made these using a regular baking sheet. Guilt free French fries! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 small peeled potatoes
- a little olive oil spray
Directions
- Cut potatoes in half, length-wise.
- Slice the halves about 1/4 to 1/3" thick.
- Cut the slices in french fry sized pieces.
- Add to baking pan; spray with oil. toss to coat most of them and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Once fries are tender, turn oven up to broil and cook until desired browning has been achieved.
Tips
I like my french fries soft and my husband likes his crispy, therefore, I sprayed some of the fries and tossed them. The crispy ones are his and the others are mine. If you like them all crispy spray them with oil, toss while rubbing the oil on the fries and spray again. If you cut the potatoes larger bake them at 425° F.
The pan is available online at Miles Kimball.
