Healthy French Fries

Okay so maybe there is no such thing as "healthy" french fries... but these come pretty close! We are both trying to eat healthier and lose weight so this is a fun new item to throw into our dinner rotation. My favorite part? These were super easy! The hardest thing is peeling the potatoes... and if you can't peel a potato, you shouldn't be allowed to operate a motor vehicle ;)

Ingredients:

  • 3 potatoes
  • 1 egg white
  • Seasonings of your choice (I used a smidge of onion powder and lowry's seasoning salt)

Directions:

  • Wash potatoes, pat dry, and peel
  • Slice into 'fries'.
  • Put egg white into a bowl and whisk until a bit fluffy
  • Stir in seasonings
  • Throw your fries into the egg white mix and coat

Now grab a baking sheet and lay some parchment paper on it. I add about two tbsp of oil to the paper and smear it around (you could use vegetable or olive oil). This step will make cleanup a snap! Place your fry slices on the paper and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn fries and bake again.

That's it! You're done! Healthly french fries that taste delicious. Drew said, "You need to make these all the time." That's coming from the Fry King so I will take that as a success!

Oooh! I never thought about an egg white. I always use olive oil. Thank you for the tip.
