The article also had an amazingly delicious recipe for healthier french fries. They are extremely easy and very tasty. I made these twice yesterday. Once for dinner and then again for playing games with my family, Halie, Brett, and Jeff. The second time, they were better because I used less oil and let them get a little more crispy.
*I suggest adding pepper to the mixture in the bag. The fries needed a little extra spice.
Parsley-Parmesan Oven French Fries
Ingredients:
4 medium (or 3 large) unpeeled russet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (canola oil can be substituted)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a nonstick jellyroll pan with canola oil cooking spray.
- In large zip-top plastic bag, combine potatoes with olive oil and salt; seal bag and toss to coat potatoes well.
- Arrange potatoes in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown, turning after 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and parsley. When fries are light brown, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese mixture over the top and bake about 5 minutes more. Remove pan from oven; let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
