Baked Potato Wedges /Fries


Who does not like french fries?I think it is hard for anyone to resist a basket of fries and ketchup. I love Potatoes.Potatoes have been given this bad rep in recent years from some of the “diet programs” that say how they’re evil, the carbohydrate devil and other silliness.They’re not. Really. Ask a dietitian if you don’t believe me. Potatoes are good for you, in moderation. They come packed with  potassium, vitamin C, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, copper, and manganese.



  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon hot paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 egg whites, slightly beaten
  • 2 pounds potatoes, cut into wedges





  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a large baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together the olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, oregano, pepper, and chili powder in a large bowl. Place the egg whites in a separate large bowl.
  3. Toss the potato wedges first with the egg whites and then with the olive oil mixture. Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking pan.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 40 minutes
