Baked Fries

Who doesn't love French Fries?  A guilty pleasure that always leaves that feeling of  "ugh, I really ate all that".  Attempts at making fries healthier at home were not successful until I came across a recipe somewhere that solved this issue of " ... but I love french fries".

  • Cut potatoes - red, russet, baking, sweet -- into the shape you desire.  This works best if the thickness doesn't reach any more than about a half-inch.
  • Dump potatoes in boiling water.  Wait until water gets back to boiling, then boil for about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the water.
  • On pans lined with parchment paper, distribute potatoes evenly.
  • If adding any seasoning (I like garlic sea salt), do so now. (If you wait, it won't stick.)
  • Place pans under the broiler (set on High,), for approximately 10 minutes. Turn them.
  • Broil for another 5 minutes or so.

Let this picture be a reminder that parchment paper is flammable!  However, no oil.  (Usually) no mess.  And oh-so-tasty!
