Note: These ingredient amounts are to taste.
-
2
You may use more or less of the seasonings to fit your tastebuds.
-
3
Adjust the recipe to fit how many people you'll be serving.
-
4
2 large potatoes should be enough to serve two people as a side dish or snack.
-
5
I also used non-stick cooking spray instead of oil because I have IBS and have to watch my fat intake.
-
6
My IBS tolerated the potato skin too, although normally I stay away from potato skin (which I love).
-
7
Scrub the baking potatoes and leave the skin on.
-
8
You can peel these if you want, I didn't have a vegetable peeler and I can't peel skin well with a paring knife, and I like the taste of the skin for these fries.
-
9
Cut potatoes lengthwise.
-
10
Then lay the halves flat side down and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
-
11
Then cut the slices so they are about 1/2 inch wide.
-
12
Place the potato pieces in a bowl with lid (I used a large Gladware bowl).
-
13
Mix in a separate small bowl all the spices.
-
14
Spray the potatoes in the bowl generously with nonstick cooking spray.
-
15
Sprinkle the spices over the Pam-coated potatoes and cover bowl with lid.
-
16
Shake bowl vigorously to distribute spices.
-

(It's probably even easier to use a large ziplock bag, but I didn't have one at the time I made this recipe up.

).
-
19
Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with more nonstick cooking spray.
-
20
Spread french fries in one layer on baking sheet.
-
21
Place in a 425-450 degree oven and bake for 15-25 minutes.
-
22
If you want crispier fries, try the 450 degree and the longer time, and/or cut the fries a bit thinner, just watch so they don't burn.
-
23
That's why the times are kind of approximate so you can watch them and turn them when they are browned/crisped to your liking.
-
24
Turn fries over with a spatula and return to the oven for another 15-25 minutes until fries are browned and crisped to your likeness.
-
25
You can probably add other spices, but I used what I had onhand since I couldn't get to the store.
-
26
If you substitute with regular chili powder, increase the amount you use if you like spicier fries.
-
27
You may need to adjust oven times based on size/shape/thickness of fries, altitude, and how well-done you like your fries.
-
28
I like mine crispy so I cooked mine about 25-30 minutes each side.
-
29
These tasted great served alone, but feel free to dip them in your choice of sauce.
