Easy Crispy Oven Fries (Low Fat, Low Cal) image

This is a delicious lower fat, lower calorie baked french fry--evidently soaking the potatoes in the salt-sugar solution draws out some of their water. This way they brown and crisp instead of steam. So yummy! (to me, these taste like the fry-daddy type french fries my mom made me when I was a kid!) My non-dieter husband also deemed these delicious. 159 calories/5 g. fat, 0 mg. cholesterol/28 g. carbs/3 g fiber Weight Watchers Points per serving: 3 This came from a WW book, but I'm not sure which one.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon sugar
4 teaspoons oil
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a non-stick baking sheet w/ non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a lg. bowl, combine potatoes, 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and all of sugar w/ cold water to cover. Soak 15 min, drain and blot dry.
  • In another lg. bowl, toss potatoes w/ oil and paprika. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Bake, turning potatoes over as they brown, until cooked through and crisp. (Could take anywhere from 25-45 min., depending on how you cut your potatoes and your oven. My fries only took about 25 minute I checked on my potatoes and turned them about every 5 minute or so. You will see them browning and hear them sizzling.) Sprinkle w/ the remaining 1/2 teaspoons of salt.

I've tried many oven-baked fry recipes, but these are by far the best. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly crispy.

These fries were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I loved that they were low in fat and calories, too.
