French fries...GUILTLESS!?

One of my biggest problems in life is that I just LOVE junk food!

I'm in great shape. HOW in the world do I avoid getting fat with my junk cravings?!

I starve myself.

JUST KIDDING!  I find ways to alter my favorite foods into healthy ones.

My boyfriend LOVES when I made french fries. What he doesn't realize is that they're extremely healthy. Baked. Red potatoes. No grease. Low salt.

I like to over cook them because I prefer them to be crispy. BUT let's talk about this EASY recipe!

FIRST- you slice up red potatoes and soak them in ICE water. Why, you ask? Ice water sucks out a lot of the starch from the potato. Therefore, the potato will be less carby and more crispy.
After waiting 20 minuts or longer, drain the potatoes and dry them. I use simple paper towels.

Next, I take a tupperware and drop a small amount of olive oil along with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and some salt. Drop in the potatoes and cover. SHAKE!!! Then spred them onto a baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up) sprayed with Baker's Joy.








Bake at 475 for 30 minutes.

Voila!

You'll NEVER crave real fries again!


WANNA GET CRAZY?!

At the last minute, throw on some lowfat cheese and turkey bacon bits!!

Outback Steakhouse, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

Love you!! Enjoy!
