Baked Potato Slices – Healthy Alternative to Fries
August 3rd, 2008 by Margot
INGREDIENTS
1-1½ kg potatoes (sliced, cut into wedges, strips like fries or halved if baby potatoes)
2-3 tbs Carotino or olive oil (Carotino will give potatoes nice colour)
sea salt
other spices such as cracked pepper, garlic powder, thyme, dill, smoked paprika – optionally
METHOD
Mix potatoes with oil, season with salt and optionally other spices. Bake in the oven preheated to 180°C (356°F), stirring from time to time, until golden brown. You can turn on grill option towards the end to make them more crunchy.
Serve 4-6 people as a side dish.

Sounds superbly simple. Maybe I’ll try it with sweet potatoes. You’d want to put the slices in one layer, right?

Thank you for the comments.
Rosie – I’m glad to see you back online, I hope you are feeling much better now!
Olga - not really, you can put them on the tray any how… just stir few times during baking. I tired also with sweet potatoes before, you can take a look at it here:

Delicious, we always prepared in this way, but use canola oil.

I prepare potatoes like this a lot, they’re great as you can add lots of different flavours too such as Cajun spice or herbs.
