Fat-free Fries

Ingredients

Directions

Spray cookie sheet with non stick spray (i prefer the airbake kind, the fries dont burn as easily). Slice potatos into french fry shapes lengthwise. Positi on the fries on the cookie sheet leaving minimal space in between each. Spray a th in layer of non stick spray over the top of the fries and sprinkle with onion powd er garlic powder & paprika. Broil for 5-7 minutes until crusty on the outside. Remove from oven and turn the fries over. Broil on second side for an addition al 5-7 minutes. If the fries seem underdone, bake for another 10 min or so at 350 degress. Remove from oven. Place on serving platter & cover with a (paper ) towel or plate for 5-10 min (this helps the fries to soften on the inside). Serve. Another tip: to get really great saute"d onions saute them with watered down apple juice - no fat but good taste
