- place cut batons into a mixing bowl, add salt and spices and toss
- if you want crispier fries, you can add a little bit of olive oil to toss, but it is good to skip this to shave off unwanted calories, and to keep your arteries healthier
- line two large baking sheets with parchment paper (most of oil will absorb into it)
- lay out batons on baking sheets and place into the oven
- bake 15-20 mins, until fries begin to brown on the bottoms, then flip over with a spatula and bake another 5+ minutes, or until you achieve that perfect golden-crunchy-munch-inducing perfection
EASY CRISPY OVEN FRIES (LOW FAT, LOW CAL)
This is a delicious lower fat, lower calorie baked french fry--evidently soaking the potatoes in the salt-sugar solution draws out some of their water. This way they brown and crisp instead of steam. So yummy! (to me, these taste like the fry-daddy type french fries my mom made me when I was a kid!) My non-dieter husband also deemed these delicious. 159 calories/5 g. fat, 0 mg. cholesterol/28 g. carbs/3 g fiber Weight Watchers Points per serving: 3 This came from a WW book, but I'm not sure which one.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a non-stick baking sheet w/ non-stick cooking spray.
- In a lg. bowl, combine potatoes, 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and all of sugar w/ cold water to cover. Soak 15 min, drain and blot dry.
- In another lg. bowl, toss potatoes w/ oil and paprika. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake, turning potatoes over as they brown, until cooked through and crisp. (Could take anywhere from 25-45 min., depending on how you cut your potatoes and your oven. My fries only took about 25 minute I checked on my potatoes and turned them about every 5 minute or so. You will see them browning and hear them sizzling.) Sprinkle w/ the remaining 1/2 teaspoons of salt.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for French fries because they have a high starch content, which makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
- Use a high-quality oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are good choices because they have a high smoke point and won't burn easily.
- Preheat the oil: This will help prevent the fries from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: This will also help prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Cook the fries in batches: This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the fries immediately after cooking: This will help the seasoning stick to the fries.
- Serve the fries hot: French fries are best when served immediately after cooking.
Conclusion:
Making low-fat French fries at home is easy and delicious. By following these tips, you can make crispy, flavorful fries that are also healthy. So next time you're craving French fries, don't head to the fast food restaurant. Make them at home instead!
