Crispy Baked French Fries

Who doesn’t love French Fries? We love them in my house a lot. I think my kids would be happy to have french fries every night with dinner if they could.  The problem is the fat and calories from frying the potatoes is so high and on top of that really unhealthy to have on a regular basis. Don’t get me wrong, when out at a favorite restaurant to grab a burger, we almost always order fries to go with it. It’s just so good!

But, when home, I try really hard to make healthier choices for my family and me too. What’s the best solution? Baked Fries. These seriously taste so incredibly delicious with a  crunchy and crispy texture just like a french fry should taste like. My family absolutely loves this way of eating fries and I love making them this way for the obvious reason, it’s a much better choice to the fried potato and, my whole house doesn’t fill up with smoke from the frying. It can take days for the smell to dissipate. When these bake in the oven the house smells divine and very inviting.

So, give this simple and easy recipe a try for a delicious new way of eating french fries. You can enjoy without the guilt too.
