NO FRY, FRIES

One of my favorite foods is French Fries--especially McDonalds.  But now, since I try to stay as healthy and fit as I can, I make them from scratch and bake them.  This way I feel less guilty!



Ingredients:
1 large long russet baking potato
1 tablesppon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preheat Oven to 425.  Meanwhile slice potato the long way about 1/4 thick--to make this easy, first I cut it in half for more stability (but make sure you do it the long way).  Next, slice into 1/4 pieces again, so now you have long rectangle potato pieces that are 1/4 on every side. (See pictured right)

Toss Potatoes in Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper.  Lay flat on baking sheet, bake in preheated oven for about 25 min, turning over half way through.  I like to make these with Turkey Burgers (click for recipe)

ENJOY!
