ingredients
directions
- Cut the potato into fries as usual and then boil them for a few minutes in salted water.
- Drain them then shake them in the pan to "rough" up the surfaces (this is the trick to making them come out crispy and with a good texture).
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the potatoes on it. Spray some more cooking spray on the potatoes.
- Cook them in a fairly hot oven, around 200-220c until they are nice and crispy, turning at least once.

Since it was written to boil a few minutes, I tried with 5 minutes. I drained the potatoes. They seem to be ok. Then I put them back in the pan to shake it. I shouldn't have done that. They began to turn flaky. Even if I sprayed them, they didn't get more golden. I have better result when I don't boil the potatoes first. Sorry about that. Thanks for posting. I was curious to try this way. Made for PAC Fall 2011

i've been baking my " french fried" potatoes with cooking spray for years, but boiling them briefly first is a nice tip. it makes them crunchy on the outside. i used olive oil cooking spray and sprinkled them with sea salt as soon as they came out of the oven. i cooked them 15 minutes per side at 425f. great calorie saver.

Hi, I'm Sandie. I live in London with my two little kittens (6 months at the moment...May 06)and work as a Finance Administrator in a university department. I love to cook, but live on my own so don't do as much as I used to. Like making cakes particularly.
In my spare time I read, I like to go to the theatre and cinema, I make beaded jewellery and do some patchwork & quilting and other needlework.
.....Ooh....and, of course, I love to eat out!!
