French fry recipe?!
Answers: does anybody have any healthy french fry recipes?
I bake mine in an oven, they have oil in them but it's olive oil which is not as bad! My husband is a fast food junkie but LOVES these!
BAKED FRIES
INGREDIENTS
1 large baking potato
1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Cut potato into wedges. Mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder and onion powder together. Coat potatoes with oil/spice mixture and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 45 minutes in preheated oven.
Healthy?
The misconception with frying is that it is unhealthy for you. Where it might be if you do it all the time and eat a lot of fried foods, occasionally is fine.
Make sure the oil is hot enough to even attempt to start frying the potatoes. You can insert a wooden spoon handle tip in the oil, if it bubbles around it is ready for the potatoes.
Having already washed them and cut them length wise you can then insert themin the oil and fry them to a golden brown. Drain them and salt.
If you are going to fry enjoy it.
umm..get sweet potataoes..cover in garlicpowder, salt and pepper, put little bit oil on a baking sheet..put slice of potatoe onto sheet and into oven at 350 degrees till browned
Cut fresh potatoes. Add to cold water. Boil for like 5 min. Remove the water. To the pot, add little oil and salt. Spread on cooking sheet and bake for 425 for about 45 mins. Turn once at mid cook time. I make these all the time.
