DELICIOUS OVEN FRIES
This recipe is healthy and tasty. Great for people watching cholesterol and heart. Got it from a cookbook at a bookstore. Prepare these at least a couple hours ahead of time. NOTE: You can also put a tablespoon of liquid smoke (any flavor will do and found in BBQ sauces section) and also Vegeta (found in delis or foreign food section). Before chilling it takes about 10 minutes to peel the potatoes that is if you want to, and if you keep the skin on there will be more time for you. The only part that takes time is chilling the potato strips for 1 hour. Cooking is about 35 minutes.
