Baked Potato French Fries

A healthy alternative to fried french fries. Baked fries have an added crunch on the exterior but are still soft inside.

Ingredients:

• 6 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into thick fries

• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder, or more to taste

• 1 tsp salt, or more to taste

• 1 tsp ground black pepper, or more to taste

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

Directions:

1. Wash and scrub potatoes to remove any dirt.

2. Slice the potatoes and put in a colander and rinse them.

3. Mix potato slices, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a resealable bag or marinator until evenly coated.

4. Spread coated potato slices in a single layer, leaving space around each potato, on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Preheat oven to 425°F Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray.

6. Bake in oven for 20 minutes; flip fries and continue baking until crisp and browned, about 20 more minutes.

Notes:

Ask an adult for help with:

• Slicing potatoes

• Turning on the oven

• Putting the tray in the oven

• Removing the tray from the oven
