Baked French Fries

 French fries are so good but I feel guilty every time I eat them. This is a great alternative if you still want to have french fries but want to be healthy!

Baked Fries

Ingredients:

4 Baker Potatoes
1/4 Cup Olive Oil (I used Avocado Oil)

1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt or Sea Salt

1 Gallon Size Zip-Lock Bag 

Directions:

1. Wash potatoes, slice each potato into three chunks long ways and cut every piece into 1/2" by 1/2" by however long your potato is.  

2. Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray (If you want less mess you can line the cookie sheet with aluminum foil)   

3. Soak cut fries in a large bowl with ice and water for 30 to 40 minutes.  

4. Drain potatoes and pat dry with a paper towel.  

5. Place fries, oil and seasonings into a Zip-Lock bag, close the bag and shake until oil and seasonings are distributed.

6. Pour the fries out onto prepared cookie sheet into a single layer and leave space in between them.

7. Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until desired crispness is achieved. 

8. Serve with ketchup, fry sauce or your favorite dipping sauce and be prepared to never eat deep fried fries again!
