Oven fried potatoes
My husband loves fried potatoes. In the past I was not someone who cared about the health factor of what I cooked.
Now, I do and I have found that Olive oil is a great way to make fried potatoes a little healtier. this is something that is so simple. I make this on Sunday Mornings as a special treat for my husband.
for this recipe you will need a good non stick baking sheet. I love the Cahaphalon baking sheets. drizzle the sheet with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Preheat Oven to 425 Degrees. peel about 5 medium size potatoes. I slice them into slices that are about medium in thickness. if they are to thick they will not cook as fast. I place them on the olive oil covered baking sheet. toss them with you fingers to coat them. I only use enough olive oil to coat them lightly. the point of using the olive oil is to cut back on the vegetble oil fats. and by using the non stick baking sheet you will not need oil to keep them from sticking. then I sprinkle with our favorite seasioning. my husband loves Cajun seasoning. the warmth of the speices on his crispy potatoes. place them in the oven and let bake until golden brown. My husband likes them very dark..not burnt but dark and crispy.
onces ready plate and enjoy!
I enjoy eating them with nothing on them, My husband has to have his ketchup and my step daughter has to have mustard. however you like to eat them, make these potatoes a part of your Sunday monring tradition.
