Ingredients
- 7-8 medium Idaho baking potatoes
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp seasoning salt
- 1 1/2 tsp smoked sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- coarse sea salt to taste
- 2 oz light cream cheese
- a splash of milk

- 1 oz good quality shredded cheese of choice (I used a sharp white French cheese… honestly I can’t remember the name! woops.)
Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 430.
- Wash and dry the potatoes.
- Cut them into french-fry sized strips – about 3/4-inch (10cm) wide.
- Pour egg whites over fries, pour seasonings over fries, and stir to combine.
- Place a large sheet of parchment paper over each baking sheet (I used 2 baking sheets).
- Scoop the potatoes onto the parchment paper.
- Do not dump the whole bowl out because there will be some leftover egg whites in the bottom of the bowl and you don’t want that on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, take the baking sheets out and remove the parchment paper and slide the fries directly onto the baking sheet.
- They should slide off easily.
- Bake for another 5-8 minutes; remove from oven and stir, being careful to keep the shape of the fries.
- Continue this (bake, stir, bake, stir) until the fries have a puffy golden brown outside that is dry to the touch.
- They should be a little crispy but soft on the inside.
- Total bake time will be about 25-35 minutes.
- For the cheese sauce, melt the cream cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Whisk in the milk, garlic, seasoning salt, and oil until smooth.
- When smooth, add the cheese.
- Melt for another 20-30 seconds and whisk again until totally smooth, adding more milk to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency.
- Pour over fries and enjoy!.
