Food Friday: Tasty Fat-Free French Fries

Last week I saw a post by Chuck Underwood on Brand New Vegan about fat-free french fries.  Dear One is a French fry addict so I am always trying to find a healthier version of them.  This might be it!

This is what I did:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Prepare a rimmed sheet with Silpat or parchment paper unless you like to scrub baked on stuff.

Scrub 4 medium Russett potatoes and cut into planks around 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.

In a bowl mix together 1 Tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon granulated onion, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and about 1/2 teaspoon salt.  I forgot the pepper.  Stir well.

In a large microwave safe bowl place the potatoes and microwave for 5 minutes.  They will not be completely cooked. You don't want them completely cooked.

Add the seasoning mixture to the bowl and stir well, but gently.

Spread potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes.

Add more seasoning when they come out of the oven if you want.

Next time I will not use the flour and see if they still work.
