Title: Un-Fried French Fries
Categories: Polkadot, Lisa, Snacks, Low-fat/cal, Vegetables
Yield: 4 Servings

5 lg Baking potatoes
Light vegetable oil cooking
-spray
2 lg Egg whites
1 tb Cajun spice

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Slice each potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch ovals, then slice each oval
lengthwise into matchsticks.

Coat a baking sheet with 3 sprays of the vegetable oil.

Combine the egg whites and cajun spice in a bowl. Add the matchstick
potatoes and mix to coat. Pour the coated potatoes onto the prepared
baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer, leaving a little
space between them.

Place the baking sheet on the bottom shelf of the oven. Bake for 40
to 45 minutes, until the fries are crispy, turning them every 6 to 8
minutes with a spatula so that they brown evenly. Serve immediately.

These look almost as good as they taste. The Cajun spice lends a
bright red hue to the crunchy surface, while the soft inside is snowy
white. At half a gram of fat per serving (versus 16 grams for the
same amount of the fried variety) you can munch away guiltlessly.
Serve alongside a small bowl of reduced-calorie catsup.

Fat per serving = 0.5 gram

Notes from the Chef:
"Here's something I tried to make out of In the Kitchen With Rosie -
didn't come out as good as I'd hoped, but I attribute that to human
error. I plan to try them again. Only .5 grams of fat per serving!"
