Oven-Fried Potatoes
Oven-Fried Potatoes
(low fat & low calorie recipe)
2 russet or baking potatoes, unpeeled
1 egg white
1 teaspoon chili-style seasoning (such as Cajun seasoning)*
Salt and pepper to taste
* You may vary the seasonings that you add to the egg whites according to your taste. Be creative!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash potatoes and cut lengthwise into 8 wedges or 4 wedges; dry well on paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine egg white, seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add potato wedges and toss well to coat. Spread potatoes, in a single layer and leaving a little space between them, on prepared baking sheet; shake off excess egg white. Spray tops of potatoes, lightly and evenly, with the non-stick cooking spray.
Place potatoes in hot oven and bake approximately 25 to 30 minutes. During cooking time, turn potatoes once or twice with tongs or a spatula. The fries should be golden brown and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Remove from oven, sprinkle with additional seasoning (if desired) and serve hot.
