Roasted potatoes

Craving french fries? Try this healthier alternative. These potato wedges are roasted, not fried, and seasoned with herbs.

Roasting replaces frying to reduce fat and calories. Herbs replace salt as the flavoring.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

1 pound large red or white potatoes with skins, cut into wedges 1/4-inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon rosemary or oregano

Directions

Heat the oven to 400 F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Soak the potato wedges in ice water for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Press between paper towels to dry. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, pour the olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat.

Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and bake another 5 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake until they're brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
