Suggestions:

A heavy-duty baking sheet bakes the fries more evenly than does a lightweight pan; a non-stick baking pan is helpful.

Optional: For overall baked brownness, allow an extra 10 to 30 minutes to pre-soak cut potatoes.

Ingredients:

Fun Fries recipe lowers the fat and salt content of regular high-fat fries by baking instead of frying, and by lowering the oil and salt amount. Skin-on potatoes add extra fiber over peeled potatoes.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 475ºF.

In large bowl mix oil, cheese and herb seasoning. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven about 30 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown, tossing once after the first 15 minutes. Season with salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
