My sister-in-law, Laurel, doesnt like baked potatoes, but
she loves these fries. (I dont have the heart to tell her they are really baked
potatoes in the shape of fries.)1. Preheat oven to
400 degrees.2. Wash potatoes; remove
blemishes or bruises on 4 medium-large red potatoes (do not peel).3. Combine in large bowl:
2 Tbsp olive oil½ tsp garlic salt½ tsp paprika1
tsp Mrs. Dash's seasoning4. Slice potatoes into
French fry lengths and drop into bowl with oil and spices, stirring to coat well.5. Arrange slices in
single layer on 12x17" cookie sheet. Bake for
45-50 minutes, turning with metal spatula
every 15-20 minutes to allow them to brown evenly.
Serves 4-5.Note:You can
also bake at 450 degrees for 30-35 minutes for a crispier fry; stir potatoes with metal
spatula every 10-15 minutes.
Red potatoes are in the "red" group
of colorful, cancer-fighting,
heart-healthy veggies ... along with strawberries, red apples,
cherries, red pears, raspberries, pomegranates, watermelon, red pepper and tomatoes.
