No-Fry French Fries
Serves 6
Ingredients:
6 baking potatoes (Idaho or Russet)
1 tablespoon canola or olive oil
1 egg white
Salt and pepper to taste
Basil, cayenne, paprika, and/or garlic powder to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick vegetable
spray. Peel the potatoes (or scrub well). Cut into ¼-inch strips. (If you have time,
soak the strips ice water for 20 to 30 minutes for crisper fries. Drain well and
pat dry.)
In a medium bowl, beat the oil with the egg white until frothy.
Coat the potatoes with the oil/egg white mixture. Spread in a single layer on a
baking sheet. Sprinkle with seasonings.
Bake in the lower third of the oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until brown and crispy,
stirring once or twice. Serve immediately.
