SPICY CHEESE FRIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Rinse potatoes in cold water. Drain and pat dry. Toss together potatoes, oil, salt, and a pinch of ground red pepper in a large bowl.
• Place a lightly greased wire rack in a jelly-roll pan. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on wire rack.
• Bake at 450° for 40 to 45 minutes or until browned. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 1 more minute or until cheese is melted. Serve with ketchup, if desired.
• Note: Nutritional analysis does not include ketchup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with a wired rack and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, add the cut matchstick potatoes and cover with cold water. Soak the potatoes for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes to absorb the starch from the matchstick potatoes.
• While the potatoes soak, in a large plastic zipper seal bag, place the Cheez-It Grooves Hot & Spicy crackers. Lay the plastic bag on the counter. Use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into a fine crumble.
• Transfer the crumbled Cheez-It Groove crackers to a shallow bowl, add the Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan Cheese, and dried parsley. Combine the flavors.
• In a separate bowl, add the egg whites.
• Drain and dry the potatoes on a paper towel.
• Coat the matchstick potatoes in the egg whites and then into the Cheez-It Grooves crumble. Place crumble coated potatoes onto the prepared baking rack. Continue until all the matchstick potatoes are coated with the Cheez-It crumble. Spray the matchstick potatoes with the olive oil cooking spray.
• Place the baking sheet into heated oven. Check the French fries after 20 minutes. They should be crispy and should not need more than 30 minutes in oven, depending how thick you cut your matchsticks.
• Serve immediately. Delicious with low-fat ranch dressing
