Healthy Afternoon Snack

Ever feel in the mood for a container of fries but without the deep-fried calories like Mcd's or any fast food's? Well, I bet you have, just like me :p

Yesterday, I've try to make an easy homemade french fries for my afternoon snack (Fyi, I love eating snack in afternoon since I was child hehe). But, I didn't know how to make it until I finally found a simple recipe that allow me to have a french fries and WITHOUT all the fat!!! Yay!

I know you want it too, here the recipe :)

Homemade French Fries

   

What you need are.....

The Tools..
• Potato peeler    
• Knife
• Frying Pan

The Ingredients...
• One Potato (or you can use an instant frozen potato)
• Olive Oil (it's good for our health)
• Flour
• Seasoning Spices

Then..

    Set your pan on a burner on high. Let it heat up while you peel the potato. Cut the potato into strips and set them aside. Fill a small bowl with flour and some spices you like (garlic salt or Cajun seasoning are good). It should be about a cup of flour for every four tablespoons of spices. Pour olive oil in the bottom of your frying pan so that it covers the entire bottom of the pan.

    Piece by piece, roll the potato slices into the flour and settle them into the olive oil (be careful, as the oil will splatter). Turn over the French fries once one side is golden brown–or darker  depending on your crispy preference. Once all sides are crispy, remove the potatoes from the pan and set on paper towel to remove all the excess oil.

Eat and enjoy! :D 

 

P.S.

For a healthier twist, spray the potatoes with olive oil cooking spray and pop them in the oven at 350 F or 176 C for 10-15 minutes. Missing those secret sauces you find at all your favorite restaurant joints? Mix together ketchup and tartar sauce, or honey mustard and barbeque, for your own “secret sauce” :)
