These are so incredibly good...Cajun and Creole seasoning can be interchanged. Also, feel free to try with other seasoning blends.

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 large baking potatoes
2 large egg whites
1 Tbsp cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • 1. Oven to 400 degrees. Slice potatoes into 1/4" ovals then lengthwise into matchsticks. Coat cookie sheet with PAM. Combine egg whites and spice in a bowl, add potatoes and mix to coat. Pour onto cookie sheet, spread into a single layer leaving space in between. Place on the bottom shelf of the oven and bake 40-45 min, turning every 6-8 min to brown evenly. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for unfried French fries because they are starchy and have a low moisture content. This will help the fries to crisp up in the oven.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized strips: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water for 30 minutes: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly before baking: This will help them to crisp up.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and flavor them.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up quickly.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through baking: This will help them to brown evenly.
  • Serve the fries immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Unfried French fries are a healthier alternative to traditional French fries. They are baked instead of fried, so they contain less fat and calories. They are also a good source of fiber and vitamins. Unfried French fries are a delicious and satisfying snack or side dish. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.
