I cant remember these healthy snacks, that look like french fries. Anyone? I'm pretty sure you can only buy them online, and they come in different flavors and everything!
"Healthy" French Fries
Five Ingredients or Less. Even a Fool Can Cook Like a Gourmet
Serves 2. Can be multiplied easily
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
1 large Idaho potato. Scrubbed but no need to take off the skin. There are nutrients there!
4 tsp of Extra Virgin Olive oil
Olive oil spray
*Toppings: See note below
Cut your baking potato in half across the potato. This will make shorter fries so you can eat more of them without feeling guilty. Then cut the halves in half again the long way. This gives you a stable surface if you set it on the flat side. Now work your way across the potato cutting 1/3 inch strips. Cut those slices into strips so you have the French fry shape. (Some of you will have a mandolin and can do this faster). You'll have a few odd shaped ends but no matter. That same thing happens for McDonald's too.
Now, here's the brilliance I learned from Cooking Light. Take a large zip lock bag. Put the olive oil in. (They used canola oil. I try to use olive oil whenever possible for the health benefits).
Put your potato strips (fries) in the bag and toss them around to coat them. Then spray a large cookie sheet with olive oil spray and dump your potatoes on the cookie sheet. Spread them out so they don't touch any more than necessary. The more French fry surface that touches the cookie sheet the crispier your fries will be.
Now sprinkle on your topping (or combination of toppings. You can also have "after baking" toppings. See below). If you're a purist you might just do sea salt. Grate some on.

I know what you're talking about, but I can't remember the name of them.
