Homemade Spicy Man Fries

Another one of Nicks creations.  Super yummy!

Ingredients:
8 Potatoes (we used small/medium sized ones)
2 Egg whites
1 1/2 tsp Chili powder
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
1 1/4 tsp Paprika
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 1/4 tsp salt
Vegetable oil

Directions:
*Pre-heat oven to 430*F.

*Peel, wash, then dry the potatoes.


*Cut your potatoes into 1/2 inch square pieces.  You want your pieces  to be pretty close in size.


*Put all the potatoes pieces into a bowl.

*In a small bowl, break the eggs and only keep the egg whites.  Here is a picture to show you how to get just the egg white.  You need to be careful when you break the egg not to open the yolk part.  Then, flip flop the yolk back and forth between the two shell halves.

*Lightly beat the egg whites with a whisk.

*In a different bowl, combine all the spices.


*Coat the potatoes in the egg whites.


*Sprinkle the spices over the potatoes.  We did NOT use all of the spices.  Toss the potatoes well so they are all coated.


*Put a layer of veggie oil onto the baking sheet.  We lined ours with tin foil first.  Use a good amount...these suckers STICK!  We used baking spray.  I don't suggest it because they still stuck.  So put a good amount of oil to coat the bottom.

*Place the coated potato wedges on the cookie sheet.  Spread them out.


*Put them in the oven for 5-7 minutes.  Take out of the oven, move them around, flip them up.  Drizzle with a bit of oil if they are sticking...ours did a bit.

*Put back into the oven and bake for 40 minutes total, flipping every 5-8 minutes throughout the cooking process.

These were SO good.  They were such a fresh taste on homemade fries!  We served them with homemade fish sticks that were fried.  I'll post the recipe in a minute!
