Baked home-fries with all the flavor of the fryer....

A long, long time ago we ditched our deep-fryer. At the time, I think it was more of a "Im to lazy to change the grease" decision, than a "Let's get healthy" one. But nonetheless, no deep-fryer makes life a little boring sometimes, especially in the french fry department.

There are tons of different recipes out there to make home-fries, but mine never turned out crispy enough and there was always something missing, so we stuck to McCain fries most of the time to keep it simple. That was until I found the secret ingredient to french fry success, cornstarch. This made all the difference in giving the fries a crispy coating without have to dunk them in oil.

My "Healthy Living" board on Pinterest has the complete recipe, but olive oil, garlic, sea-salt, fresh pepper, garlic salt, cayenne pepper and cornstarch is all it takes to make these babies! I didn't have the cayenne, so I left that out, and no complaints here. These are something you could make to go with any meal, or a great snack for a weekend movie date. Enjoy!
