I get a sort of co-op box of food every month, and their produce box always includes lots of potatoes. I'm not a big potato eater, so I've had trouble working out what to do with the darn things. Last month I gave half a bag to my ex-husband, I was so desperate to have them get used and not thrown out. This month I ended up tossing half a bag, so I decided to get creative and figure out how to use them.
So tonight I took a potato, scrubbed it up, and made French fries out of it. It was incredibly easy and really tasty. Also low-fat.
Here's the "recipe."
Slice the potato into matchstick portions (I left the skin on)
Place in a cookie sheet
spray with non-stick cooking spray
sprinkle with salt
Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes.
