Low-Fat Loaded Fries

These oven-baked fries are perfect when you're feeling naughty but your diet hasn't been nice. Good thing the silly season has come to a close.

The oven-baked french fry recipe belongs to my Aunt Nanette (she's the best home cook I've ever met) and you'll be amazed that not a single drop of oil is used.

Then I treated those little bad boys just like they were nachos- using all fresh ingredients so to be as healthy as possible.

Pro Tip: spray baking dish or use wax paper to assist with melted cheese clean up (if you don't end up gnawing it all off yourself).

Yields4 Servings
For the French Fries
 4 Small-Med Size Potatoes (mine were organic)
 1 egg white beaten until frothy
 1 tsp Salt (add a little white pepper, or chilli powder)
Topping Ideas
 Shredded Cheese
 Avocado
 Shredded Lettuce
 Chopped Tomato
 Greek Yoghurt or Sour Cream
 Jalepenos
 Spring Onion
For the Fries
1

Slice potato lengthwise (skin on) into wedges. Thickness will depend on your preference.

2

Toss wedges with the frothy egg white until evenly coated.

3

Lay evenly on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with salt.

4

Bake at 220C/ 435F for about 35 minutes. The one thing to keep in mind is that these need to be cooked on high heat- timing is a fine art and it depends on the thickness of your taters. It took me a few attempts to get these juuuust right.

5

Once the potatoes are cooked through, transfer to a baking dish and add cheese.

6

Broil/ Grill for 2-5 minutes until gold and bubbly. Remove from oven and add your toppings.

7

Top with smashed avocado with lime juice, shredded lettuce, herbs, tomatoes and finally top with Greek Yoghurt and sprinkle with cumin.
