Italian Seasoned Fries (Low Fat)

5.0(5)

One of the great things about making your own fries (in addition to being much less fattening than those you eat out) is that you can tailor them to your preference using herbs and seasonings. Feeling like some garlic fries today? Simply sprinkle them with some garlic, salt (or garlic salt) and a touch of parsley. Add some Parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes and you have these Italian fries. Lake spicy Cajun fries? Hit them up with some Cajun seasoning. Or sprinkle them with some fresh garlic and rosemary and you'll be in for a different treat. The important think to remember is that you need only a touch of olive oil to create the perfect fries.
