Healthier Home fries

I don't know about you but I love potatoes in any shape or form, but my favorite is home fries.  If you don't know the term these are french fries made at home or some home cooking places.  They are typically chunky in form and seasoned.  We love home fries at our house.  Well, I don't know about you but I wanted a healthier less guilty way to make these. I figured this out.  They aren't fully healthy but they are better than frying them.  And you can use the same technique for store bought fries and tater tots too (you know the frozen ones).  This is a simple method to have your fries.

First I wash 4 large russet potatoes, then I cut them in 1/2  then in quarters.  After this I cut them into chunks.  I also finely chopped a medium yellow onion and 2 cloves of garlic.

The potatoes cut into chunks, you could cut them into more of a fry shape if you want.  But today I am making them to go with a glazed pork loin so the chunky looked was better.

1 tbsp EVOO in a large mixing bowl.  EVOO is good for cholesterol and this is all the oil we are using.  This is why I say it is healthier plus we are added onion and garlic which are vegetables.

For today's use I added Magnificent Marvelous Honey Mustard Sauce, but if you are making start home fries for  steaks burgers or any other fry use you can add a tsp salt and 1 1/2 pepper, and a dash of chili powder to the oil.  And mix it all together.

Add the chunked up potatoes.

Add the onions and garlic

Stir until it is all coated. 

Spread on a baking sheet in a singlish layer.  Bake at 400 for about an hour. 

 

Here is this batches use with Honey Mustard glazed pork loin.

  You can use the same technique for herbed potatoes, or any mix of seasonings or sauces.  Have fun and experiment with them.
