Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For crispier fries, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before coating them with egg whites. You can experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder or paprika for variety. If you prefer a lower-fat option, consider using a light olive oil spray instead of Pam. Ensure your fries are evenly coated for the best flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fries alongside your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or aioli for a classic touch. They pair wonderfully with dishes like grilled chicken or fish tacos. For a complete meal, consider serving them with a side salad or alongside recipes like Lime Surprise for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for about 10 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy, diminishing their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used for a healthier twist! Just keep in mind that they may require slightly different cooking times and will give a sweeter flavor to the fries.
