Oven-Fried Potato Fries

This is a healthier (and tastier) version of French fries that you can make at home, from scratch, without much fuss. Coated with spices and baked in the oven, these fries are a great accompaniment to just about any main dish.

Ingredients:

- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 medium unpeeled Idaho or russet baking potatoes
- cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a small bowl, mix salt, sugar, paprika, mustard, and garlic powder.

Gently scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Cut each potato lengthwise in half, then cut into wedges of about equal size and thickness. Place potato wedges, skin sides down, in ungreased 9x13 inch pan.

Spray potatoes with cooking spray until lightly coated. Sprinkle with salt/spice mixture.

Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. (Baking time varies depending on size and type of potato.)
