In an attempt to be more healthy around here (let the nightly bicycling begin anew), I hope to post some recipes that are halfway good for you.   Here’s a good alternative to real french fries that actually does work pretty well to replicate the taste and texture.  We had these with turkey burgers (seasoned with some “gourmet burger” seasoning and some Worcestershire sauce.)

• 2 pounds potatoes (I used yukon golds)
• 2 egg whites, beaten until just frothy
• Lawry’s Seasoning Salt (or you can make up your own blend with paprika, cumin, garlic/onion powders)

Wash and peel potatoes.  Cut potatoes into 1/2″ strips.  (Cut lengthwise into 1/2″ slices, then stack slices and cut into 1/2″ strips.)  Place into bowl with egg whites and spin ‘em around.  Place on a liberally sprayed cookie sheet (even if you’re using that non-stick foil SPRAY IT I promse you will regret it…) and sprinkle with seasonings.  Spread over baking sheet and spray tops of the potatoes lightly with cooking spray.  Bake at 425 for 45 minutes (up to 60, dpeending on your potatoes) stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp.
