Commercial french
fries are not only high
in fat, they also contain
harmful transfats,
from the partially-hydrogenated
oils that they’re cooked
in. And if that’s not
all, recent studies have
shown that acrylamide
- a neurotoxin and
mutagen - is formed in
foods like french fries
and potato chips that
have been
fried at high temperatures. Making your own “fries” is a safer and more healthful alternative to commercial fries.
Ingredients
Directions
Cut potatoes lengthwise (like French Fries). Preheat oven at 375o F. Combine garlic salt and red chili pepper (adjusting amounts to suit your taste). Arrange the potato strips in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Coat the potatoes with the vegetable oil spray. Flip them over and spray the other side. Sprinkle with garlic salt and red pepper seasoning. Bake for one hour. Note: A serving of the spray oil is a 2.5 second spray.
