Little Piece Of Healthy Heaven Baked French Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Wash potatoes and peel them if you like (I leave skins on for more crunch!) Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, and then in half lengthwise again. Cut into strips, as thin as possible. It's ok if some are a little thicker.
• Place cut up fries in a big ziploc bag and add olive oil. Shake to coat.
• In a small bowl, mix all spices, and then dump into bag. Shake to coat.
• Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Arrange fries in a single layer on sheets (don't overlap too much) and sprinkle grated parmesan all over potatoes. Put in preheated oven and bake for 30-45 minutes. You want them to turn golden brown with some crispy edges. 4-5 of them on the outside may turn darker but they are still extremely tasty and just cook faster than the ones in the middle. Watch them closely for desired texture! Just make sure the parm cheese starts to become a golden brown color and potatoes are cooked through!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Combine cheese, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste.
• Place potatoes in a medium bowl coated with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle potatoes with cheese mixture, tossing well.
• Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
• Bake at 450°F for 13 minutes or until tender.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400*F. and turn at least once during the baking.
• 2. 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 and they need to be turned 1/2 way through baking.
• 3. Bake for 30-45 minutes in preheated oven. Cooking time and temperature will vary greatly on how thick you cut the wedges.
• My Note: Update: bake at 450*F., for 40-45 minutes, and turn at least once during the baking. If you use the 450*F. in the recipe, the fries will burn. I mixed everything in a gallon size ziploc bag. For the spices, I used freshly minced garlic (no onion powder), paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and chili powder. I used 6 potatoes (4 russet, 2 sweet) and 1/3 cup oil. I have cut the potatoes into sticks like normal fries and then baked them for 15 minutes, turned them over, and baked for another 15 minutes (the whole time at 425 since they're thinner than wedges), and I must say these are the tastiest fries ever! I also added salt and freshly ground pepper and garlic salt, and didn't measure it out- just kinda put on as much as looked good, and wow, were they tasty! I think the chili powder was what really put them over the top, so don't be shy with it, and remember that seasonings seem to lose some of their flavors when baked (which means put on more than you usually would)!
• So, if you cut your wedges small and thin - you will need to cut the temp and cooking time. But if you cut true (thick) wedges - follow the recipes directions (although I strongly encourage flipping the potatoes halfway through the process). For a super easy cleanup - I poured the oil and spices into a gallon size Ziploc bag and mixed it all together until well blended - then I added the cut potatoes and kneaded and shook the bag until all the potatoes were well and evenly coated. Then poured it into a 9x13 glass baking dish lined with foil. Minor adjustments: I used paprika, garlic powder, salt, freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of chili powder - mine is exceptionally potent, and cumin) -- The second time making this recipe I added fresh minced onion - and that was a very tasty addition too!
• FOR THOSE WHO THINK THIS RECIPE TOO BLAND: Take one onion for every 3 potatoes. Cut it in half lengthwise and cut it into slivers. Take all ingredients, including the onions, and put them in a zipper bag. Knead and shake until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Proceed with recipe directions. The onions add quite a bit of zing as well as nutrition!
• I use my french fry cutter to cut the potatoes. I don't even measure the spices anymore. I bake them at 400*, for 15 min, then flip and bake for another 15 on the other side. However, I like my fries less on the crispy side, also using the french fry cutter makes all the fries about the same size for uniform cooking.

Steps:

• peel potatoes.
• boil in salted water for about 15 minutes just until potatoes are cooked on outside but still stiff.
• drain on paper towels.
• cut into slices with serated knife.
• deep fry in hot oil until brown and crispy.
• drain on paper towels.
• add salt.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and slice them 1/4 inch thick into either flat rounds or traditional french fry shape.
• Heat vegetble oil in large frying pan until it is good and hot. Add potatoes, cooking until they become golden, then flipping them. Cook until they are the color you desire.
• Remove and place on a paper towel covered plate or lined bowl. Salt to taste, or use your favorite seasoning.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 475°F Cut the potatoes into sticks. Soak in water for 10 minutes then drain and pat dry.
• Toss with 2 T. oil and your seasonings.
• Coat a cookie sheet with a the rest of the oil. Bake the potatoes for about 45 minutes, checking after the first 20 minutes, then every 10 minutes after that.
