Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel and cut potatoes into strips; place in a bowl.
- Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
- Pour an egg white over the potato strips and stir until coated.

- Bake at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier version, consider using sweet potatoes instead of baking potatoes. If you want to enhance the flavor, try adding garlic powder or paprika along with the seasoned salt. Ensure the egg white coats the fries evenly for optimal crispiness. For a vegan alternative, use aquafaba instead of egg white for a similar binding effect.
Serving Suggestions
These delicious fries pair wonderfully with a dipping sauce like homemade ketchup or garlic aioli. Serve them alongside burgers or sandwiches for a complete meal, or enjoy them as a snack with your favorite appetizers like Ham Roll Appetizers. They also make a great side for any family gathering!
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these fries without peeling the potatoes?
Yes, leaving the skins on adds extra nutrients and fiber. Just be sure to wash the potatoes thoroughly before cutting them into strips.
What should I do if I want to make these fries spicier?
For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoned salt before sprinkling it on the potato strips. You can also serve them with a spicy dipping sauce.
How can I ensure my fries are crispy?
To achieve crispy fries, make sure to space them out on the baking sheet so they aren’t touching. Turning them every 10 minutes during baking will also help them brown evenly and become crispier.
