Who does not enjoy french fries? They’ve gotten in the way of many people’s weight loss goals. There is, however, a healthy french fry alternative that you can bake yourself. Cut up some potatoes into half-inch fries. Then, toss them in a big bowl with one tablespoon of oil, sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and rosemary to add flavor, and then bake them in one layer at a temperature of 400 degrees for half an hour. Loosen with a spatula, turn, and bake another 10 min. or so. These delicious fries are lower in fat and calories and taste as good as deep fried potatoes.
