Baked French Wedge Potato Fries |
|
These are the best and healthiest French fries you'll ever eat. Forget those regular fast-food fries that are deep-fried and can contain over 20 grams of fat for a small serving. These wholesome fries are the perfect partner for a chicken meal. Serve them with drumsticks. Experiment and use any seasonings you like. For those who like spicier fries, try chili powder instead of paprika.
| 4 medium potatoes, unpeeled 4 | 1 tsp crushed garlic 5 mL | | 2 tbsp margarine or butter or olive oil, melted 25 mL | 1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh parsley 7 mL | | 1/2 tsp paprika (or chili powder) 2 mL | 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 25 mL | | 1/2 tsp dried basil 2 mL | |
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Scrub potatoes; cut each lenghtwise into 8 wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- In small bowl, combine margarine, basil, garlic and parsley. In another bowl, mix the parmesan and paprika. Brush half of the margarine mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan mixture; bake for 30 minutes.

Cooking TipsServe these fries with drumsticks. If children like spicier fries, use chili powder instead of paprika. | Nutritional Analysis
