Can anyone honestly tell me they don’t love French Fries?
Did you know that it’s actually really easy to make French Fries at home? And even without the deep-fried crunch and calories, they’re still a delicious side dish!
Slice 4 medium potatoes into thin slices (about 1/2 inch cross section). Top with 1 tbsp canola oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp paprika.
And the ingredient that makes these so much more than just thinly sliced roasted potatoes – 1 tbsp ranch dressing mix. (Look for one without hydrogenated oils! I used Simply Organic Ranch Dressing mix, found in the natural food section of my grocery store)
Mix the potatoes, oil and spices together and spread out on a baking sheet, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cook at 400* for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are crisp.
Could it be any simpler? 5 ingredients. 20 minutes. Voila! French Fries that are made from real foods – you know what you’re eating and you know it’s good for you 
You will not be disappointed these French Fries aren’t from McDonald’s! The spice combination makes gives a really awesome flavour, not too strong, but slightly sweet, slightly salty. The high heat helps the potatoes to crisp up beautifully.

I make sweet potato fries all the time, similar to this, trying different spices each time. I actually don’t ever order fries at a restaurant anymore cause the white potatoes make my sugar levels go nuts! Thanks for this great recipe!
