Just because you’re watching your weight doesn’t mean you
have to avoid potatoes. The potatoes themselves are not a bad food; it’s only
when you add things like butter and sour cream or fry them in oil that they
become less than healthy. This recipe will alleviate your craving for French fries
with just a fraction of the calories and none of the guilt.

Skinny Fries
1 large Russet potato
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
½ t. Kosher salt
1 t. dried parsley (or 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley)
Scrub the potato and cut lengthwise into about 20 skinny sticks.
Soak in cold water for half an hour. Remove from water and pat dry with paper
towels.
Meanwhile, in small skillet add garlic to one teaspoon oil.
Heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain garlic from
oil.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss potato sticks with
garlic-infused oil and salt. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place
potatoes in a single layer on sheet. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, until crispy and
golden, turning once. Add reserved garlic and parsley to potatoes.
Serves 2.
