I love potatoes. LOVE them. However, most preparations of potatoes include plenty of butter, sour cream, or oil so I am forced to avoid them. Little mommies, however, found a way around this issue. Oven fries!
Mmmm. My camera skills? Terrible. Oven fries? Delish.
Oven Fries
Total Calories: 130 for 6 ounces of potato
Ingredients:
- One potato (I weigh them in the store. A 6 ouncer will cost you about 130 calories, so I go for the tiny ones.)
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic salt
- Olive oil Pam
- Sheet pan
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. This doesn’t have to be too exact. 400 degrees in my oven can be anywhere from 375 to 425. Wash the potato, dry it, then slice into 1/4-inch-think slices. I like to kinda vary the size a little, that way some get really crunchy some are more mushy. Grease the pan, then lay out the slices. Spray them quickly with some olive oil Pam, then sprinkle desired amount of garlic salt over them. I just do a quick shake, but if I had to guess I would say I use about half a tablespoon. Place the pan in the oven and let cook for 15 minutes. Take the pan out, flip the fries and then cook for about 2 more minutes. Voila! Healthy fries.
P.S. You can do this with sweet potatoes too….
i can attest to the delicious-ness of these fries. to die for!
