Description
This is a delicious lower fat, lower calorie baked french fry–evidently soaking the potatoes in the salt-sugar solution draws out some of their water. This way they brown and crisp instead of steam. So yummy! (to me, these taste like the fry-daddy type french fries my mom made me when i was a kid!) my non-dieter husband also deemed these delicious.
