My new pregnant craving is french fries, but I can't eat the fast food ones for a lot of reasons....(we don't have to be a genius to figure those out) but I have found a substitute that does the trick without the guilt and intestinal consequences! Paige loves them too...
2-2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes
4 cloves garlic, smashed (I LOVE garlic)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 rosemary sprigs, leaves removed and finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 425ºF.
Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 4-5 long wedges, depending on how big the potatoes are.
Place the potato wedges and garlic on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with about three tablespoons of EVOO and toss to coat.
Season the potatoes with rosemary, salt and pepper and roast them for about 25 minutes, until potatoes are brown and tender. Flip the potatoes and continue to roast for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Thanks Rachael Ray!
You can also sub the rosemary for any herb you like, or make them spicy for you and the hubby with some cayenne or chili powder!
