Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Additional Time 30 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients

1kg of floury potatoes, peeled
1 teaspoon of paprika
¾ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of black pepper
low calorie spray
2 tablespoon of butter, salted
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced (or can use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder)
4 tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro (coriander)

Instructions

Cut the potatoes into fries.
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of ice-cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes.
Drain the soaked fries and pat them completely dry.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan), 220°C, 425°F, or gas mark 7.
Transfer the fries to a bowl and evenly spray them with low-calorie spray.
Add paprika, salt, and black pepper to the fries and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned fries on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give them another light spray with low-calorie spray.
Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the fries are golden all over. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even browning and spray again with low-calorie spray.
Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave at 10-second intervals until fully melted. Stir in the garlic until combined.
Place the cooked fries in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and garlic mix, toss to coat. Add in the chopped cilantro and toss again.
Taste and season with more salt and black pepper if desired.
Enjoy!
