Betty's Slimming Oven Baked Potato Strips Recipe

[aa70queen01]

Thanks Betty! I tried this recipe and it is by far the best homebaked fries recipe I've encountered thus far :)

hi betty, 1 envelope of coating mix is about how many cups?

[bettyskitchen]

@missmickery I haven't measured it, but I'm guessing that it's about 1/2 cup.

--Betty :)

[missmickery]

Okie thanks Betty :)

[missmickery]

Oh urm I have to fry them? It doesn't work if I want to bake them?

[bettyskitchen]

@missmickery Actually, you'll be better off just adding cajun or creole seasoning to the coating mix and Parmesan cheese and baking them in the oven. The flour coating is better when fried.

--Betty :)

[missmickery]

hi betty, i intend to make my fries by dipping them into egg then into a mixture of flour and cajun seasoning, do u think this recipe is workable? if it is, could u help me suggest what amounts of flour, seasoning and potatoes I should use for 1 serving?

[bettyskitchen]

@missmickery Sounds great! You could put a 1/2 cup flour in a ziplock bag, add salt and pepper (to taste), and about 1/2 teaspoon cajun or creole seasoning, more if you like. Peel one potato and slice into strips. Dip strips in one beaten egg and then shake in the seasoned flour mixture. Fry in hot oil and drain on paper toweling.

Is it necessary to put the potatoes in water if you are making them right away?

[bettyskitchen]

@steveh1010 No, I probably thought mine might turn brown, because I was shooting the video, but if you're just going straight through the recipe, you won't need the water.

You have a nice house

[PunisherPlaythroughs]

those look good!

[brwnsknbabydoll]

hi betty, i want to try this. do u think i could use breadcrumbs instead of the shake n bake and get similar results?

[bettyskitchen]

@brwnsknbabydoll Yes, breadcrumbs would be excellent!

[eldad75]

what should be the temperature in the oven? :-)

[bettyskitchen]

@eldad75 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You will always find the complete recipe by click the down arrow or "more" near the video.

[eldad75]

@bettyskitchen oh ha! Thank you so much Betty... I will try to make them later on this evening :-)

[MyRootsRoc]

I used this recipe this yesterday. I cut the potatoes into round chips because it was too hard to get the classic fry shape, but they still came out wonderfully. Thanks for the recipe!

[bettyskitchen]

The round chips sound great! I'm glad your recipe came out well! Thanks for the great feedback!

--Betty :)

[PlanetJill]

[bettyskitchen]

That's great! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[lalalaina4life]

maybe you meant to say "great french bake" not "great french fry". thank you for all the tips

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, it is more accurate to say "bake," instead of "fry!" Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[lalalaina4life]

My comment is not meant to put Betty down or sound stupid. I'm just having fun with the video because I like that I can have French fries without actually frying them.

[bettyskitchen]

No problem!

--Betty :)

[oldstock1607]

I thought that accent sounded Kaintuck. Good fries.

[bettyskitchen]

You're right about that! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[aan210834]

Finally! a low fat alternative to satisfy my french fry cravings! thank you ever so much!

[bettyskitchen]

You are very welcome! I do have a lot of healthy foods posted (a lot that are not so healthy, too, but some people are looking for those, of course). I have adapted many of my recipes to use fat free/sugar free ingredients (as long as it does not affect the outcome!). I'm glad you came across the oven fries--they really are satisfying, without all the fat! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you for your kind comment! Also, thanks for viewing and giving me some feedback!

--Betty :)

[beachplumm]

You're sooo pretty!!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the sweet compliment!

--Betty  :)

[Modestfrugalmama]

I never thought of using the shake and bake stuff for them:) The way they look kind of reminds me of the fries from checkers. I have been adding more potatoes into our grocery trips..so this would make a great side with turkey burgers..thank you! I can't wait to try it.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! I hope you try it--It's very good and low in fat, also! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[jalyson1]

I think you'll like them! They are a nice change from regular fries, plus flavorful and low in fat! Thanks for your comment!

Great Betty...

Thanks, Robert.

[Patsymd]

This is such a great recipe! I am thinking that dipping these into your salsa recipe would make it even tastier and lower calories than a bunch of ketchup. This is great!

[bettyskitchen]

That's a terrific idea! I'm going to try that the next time I make salsa! Thanks, Patsy!

--Betty :)
