Fries get a pretty bad reputation because of fast food. A lot of people think that they have to be unhealthy, when in reality – potatoes aren’t the enemy!

When you bake potatoes with heart healthy oils, and go light on the salt… they actually aren’t as bad for you as many people think.

How to cut french fries:

You don’t need a fancy fry cutter to cut french fries. To cut potatoes into fries, slice potatoes into thin slabs (see step 2).

Slice slabs into 1/2 inch thick sticks.

You now have perfect french fry shapes!

Once you have your potatoes cut – you’re good to go!

How to make baked french fries:

Are potatoes healthy?

Yes! Potatoes actually are high in fiber, and have a good about of nutrients in them including B6, potassium, and phosphorous! (More info about it here)

And did I mention that they just taste really good?  Try to convince me that you wouldn’t want to eat an entire plate of these. LOOK at how crispy they are!

And that’s how it’s done! Super simple, delicious fries that are perfect as a side with pretty much anything. They’re crispy, just the right amount of salty, and so yummy!
