Cheesburger pie

Healthy fries

Healthy way to do some homemade fries without frying or over processed bagged fries easy and amazing good .. here is how I did it

Start out with some potatoes (I peeled mine u could also leave skins on up to you )

If u have a slicer great use that I only had a knife so I sliced mine by hand Just make sure most all are the same size to insure they will all cook even

After they are all sliced get some ice water in a bowl add some salt and soak potatoes for about 30 minutes ( this will help them to get more chrispy when u bake them )

After the 30 minutes is up lay on paper towel pat dry they do not have to be completely dry add some salt pepper or garlic or cyanne spice to however u like brush them with olive oil

Put in oven ( checking and flipping constantly ) at 350 for about 45 minutes.  Everyone's time may be different due to different thickness of the cut just check them and keep flipping them so they get golden brown all over

Get your favorite dipping cause out and enjoy! Fast food fries at home and healthy and good.  Let me know What your favorite fries are either a fast food chain or way u make them at home: ) 

Happy eating
