Oven French Fries

French fries are something I try to avoid, but you don’t have to hide from these ones. They are healthy and delicious! This comes from “The American Heart Association Cookbook.”


4 medium potatoes
1 tablespoon oil



Preheat oven to 475 degrees.

Peel potatoes and cut into long strips about 1/2 inch wide. Dry strips thoroughly on paper towels. Toss in a bowl with oil as if making a salad.

When strips are thoroughly coated with the oil, spread them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and place in preheated oven for 35 minutes. Turn strips periodically to brown on all sides. If a crispier, browner potato is desired, run under broiler for a minute or two. Sprinkle with salt before serving.

Makes 6 servings.

Approximately 80 calories per serving.
