Instructions

- Spray a large cookie sheet generously with Pam.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider using different seasoning blends like garlic powder or paprika in place of or alongside the Creole seasoning. If you're out of egg whites, aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) can be a great substitute for binding. Ensure the potato strips are evenly cut to promote uniform cooking and crispiness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fries as a healthier alternative to traditional fries alongside your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard. They pair beautifully with grilled tossed vegetables for a complete meal or can be enjoyed as a snack on their own.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness, avoiding the microwave which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use various types of potatoes such as sweet potatoes or Yukon golds, which will offer different flavors and textures. Just adjust the cooking time if necessary, as some varieties may cook faster or slower.
What if I want to make these fries spicier?
For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the Creole seasoning mix. Adjust the amount according to your heat tolerance, and feel free to experiment with other spices to create your perfect blend.
