Low-Fat Oven-Roasted Fries
"French fries have become a mainstay in the diets of the young and the old. These oven-roasted fries taste just as good as the fast-food variety and are much better for you. Grated parmesan cheese is an added bonus to these fries."

Tasty potatoes that we enjoyed with our grilled hamburgers. I wasnt real good about slicing them evenly and had a few thinner ones that stuck to the foil when I turned them. Used a shredded parmesan blend cheese and for us the potatoes needed just a little more flavor. Maybe some garlic and onion powder to add when tossing. A nice change from french fries all the time. Made and reviewed for the Australian/NewZealand Forum's Recipe Swap #38. -

This turned out so nice and crispy.I had new potatoes that I cut in 1/2, let sit in the oil a couple hours before roasting. I completely forgot the parmesan until I saw the container on the counter after supper. They were great without, but will add them next time; thanks for posting; made this for ZWT5. Rita -
So very easy to make and so very tasty. YUM! :) The potatoes crisped up nicely. Loved the olive oil and the added parmesan, and the fact that these are so low fat. Did add some grindings of my favorite rosemary and sage blend, and some garlic salt. I'll certainly be making these again. Thanks for sharing. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT 5. -
I make oven fries all the time using the same method and the parm cheese was a nice touch. I spiced it up a bit with some garlic powder and Italian seasoning.Thanks. Made for ZWT 5. -
We really liked this!! I cooked it just as directed and they came out perfect. I think (NO-I know) I prefer these over the FRIED kind. Made for ZWT5. THANKS!!

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
