Kraft Kitchens Tips

Makeover - How We Did It

Baking these fries instead of frying them and using KRAFT Light House Italian Dressing and KRAFT Reduced Fat Parmesan Style Grated Topping gives you a savings of 285 calories, 20 g of fat and 4 g of saturated fat per serving when compared to the same amount of fast-food french fries.

How to Easily Cut Potatoes into Strips

Cut potatoes lengthwise in half; place, cut-sides down, on cutting board. This will hold the potatoes in place when you cut them into sticks.

I loved them I made a few minor adjustments! I used ranch and added seasonal salt,garlic salt I also added a tablespoon of oil maybe 2 and last i left them in longer. They came out really good and crispy.

The Fam totally scarfed them down! I added a little seasoning and they burst with flavor in your mouth! I used cooking spray and had NO problems with them sticking to the pan! My family said "put this one on the list!"

VERY TASTY. I cut the wedges thinner for a faster cooking time. I also baste the fries when I flip them over for more flavor.

These were really good. I did have to cook them about ten minutes longer because I wanted them a little crispy. Also after I cut up the potatoes I rinsed them really well in cold water. It gets rid of some of the starch which results in cripier fries. Will make again soon!

even the picky, McDonald's french fry, eating men in my house loved this recipe. The only thing different I do is kick the oven to 450 degrees - there is a better crunch on the fries. YUMMY!

They were good, I added a little seasoning and cooked them on parchment paper so they wouldn't make a mess of my pan.

The flavoring was fine but I had a hard time getting them to crisp and brown. It ended up with a texture more like roasted potatoes. It also made a mess of my pan - I am still soaking it.

These are very easy to make. They bake quickly & taste great! My small children loved them, which is great because they are so much healthier to eat than frozen fries.
