Oven Fries

Ingredients:

• 1 1 /4 lbs. baking potatoes, peeled & cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
• 4 tsp. canola oil
• 1 tsp. paprika

Makes 4 Servings (1/4 of oven fries per serving)

1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Spray nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray
2. Combine potatoes, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the sugar with enough cold water to cover in a large bowl. Soak 15 minutes; drain and pat dry with paper towels or clean kitchen towel.
3. Toss together potatoes, oil, and paprika in a large bowl until evenly coated. Spread in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake, turning potatoes over as they brown, until cooked through and crisp, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. You can have your fries and eat them too. If you soak your potatoes in sugar and salt, it helps remove some of their liquid which makes them crispier when they're baked. 45 minutes may be a little too long for these treats to be baking. You want to be able to enjoy your 'fries.' These are actually tasty with fish, steak, and any kind of burger you choose to make.
