Spicy Fries

The fact of the matter is that people get cravings, and last night, while watching True Blood, I had an inexplicable craving for french fries. Dedicated to healthy eating, I realize that the last thing I should consuming is a plate full of greasy, fried potato slices.

Determined to satiate my craving, I immediately went into the kitchen and cut several potatoes into long, skinny slices. I knew I should probably roast them, so I pulled out two glass pans, sprayed them with oil, and then put in the potatoes. After spraying the potatoes themselves with a little oil, I looked into the spice cabinet to see what I could find.

I blindly mixed together salt and pepper (obviously), basil, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika (yea, my sister and I decided to opt for spicy fries!) and some mixtures designated as "cajun" and "grill spices".

I poured the mixture over the fries and placed both pans in a 425 degree oven for 18 minutes. Time was up, and with a spatula I sifted the fries a little bit to ensure they cooked evenly. I let them bake for another 25 minutes.

The fries were still a little soft, so I set the oven to broil for 4 minutes, and then took them out.

Basically, 47 minutes later I had a plate full of spicy, roasted french fries. They were delicious, SPICY, and healthy =], but trust me when I say that they should NO QUESTION be served with a cold drink, because my mouth was on fire!
