Easy Crispy Oven Fries (Low Fat, Low Cal)

4.5(11)

This is a delicious lower fat, lower calorie baked french fry--evidently soaking the potatoes in the salt-sugar solution draws out some of their water. This way they brown and crisp instead of steam. So yummy! (to me, these taste like the fry-daddy type french fries my mom made me when I was a kid!) My non-dieter husband also deemed these delicious. 159 calories/5 g. fat, 0 mg. cholesterol/28 g. carbs/3 g fiber Weight Watchers Points per serving: 3 This came from a WW book, but I'm not sure which one.

1/2 teaspoon sugarsugar
4 teaspoons oiloil

3/4 teaspoon saltsalt

Instructions (4 steps)

01Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a non-stick baking sheet w/ non-stick cooking spray.
02In a lg. bowl, combine potatoes, 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and all of sugar w/ cold water to cover. Soak 15 min, drain and blot dry.
03In another lg. bowl, toss potatoes w/ oil and paprika. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
04Bake, turning potatoes over as they brown, until cooked through and crisp. (Could take anywhere from 25-45 min., depending on how you cut your potatoes and your oven. My fries only took about 25 minute I checked on my potatoes and turned them about every 5 minute or so. You will see them browning and hear them sizzling.)
