Brian and I have given up fried foods for the month of February to help with our desire to become a little more healthy and hopefully lose some weight as well. I love french fries, fried potatoes, baked potatoes, roasted potatoes...ok, in all honesty, I love anything that has to deal with potatoes.
Here is one way to make these fries. You can change the seasoning to match what you and your family likes.
Parmesan and Garlic Fries
Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch strips ~ you can leave them unpeeled if you prefer
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425ยบ.
In a large mixing bowl, place the cut potatoes and pour the olive oil over the top.
Sprinkle on the garlic, thyme and seasoned salt.
Mix well until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
DO NOT throw away the oil that is left in the bowl.
Bake 30 minutes, turning the fries over halfway through. After 30 minutes of baking, return the fries to the bowl with excess oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and parsley. Toss to coat and return to baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle fries again with a few shakes of Parmesan and a few shakes of seasoned salt.
Makes 4 servings.
