SKINNY TEXAS CHEESE FRIES



Skinny Texas Cheese Fries image

Guiltless cheesy seasoned fries topped with veggie bacon, jalapenos and scallions served with a cool low-fat buttermilk ranch on the side. So when it's cheese fries you are craving, make them yourself and you'll save hundreds of calories and have better portion control preparing it yourself. A half order at Chili's is a whopping 1260 calories and 89 grams of fat, yikes!! This recipe is a serving for two, if you want to make this into a meal, why not serve a large fresh garden salad on the side, with more ranch dressing! You'll have those carbs you crave and feel completely satisfied. Leave the skin on for added fiber, and this recipe uses a full fat cheddar so that the cheese melts beautifully, Just use less of it and it will be great. if you prefer using reduced fat cheese, Cabot and Sargento are two brands that are good to use. I have tweaked the recipe, using veggie bacon. From skinny taste.

1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cumin
coarse salt
fresh cracked pepper

1/3 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese (or more to taste)

SKINNY TEXAS CHEESE FRIES

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4-5 medium Yukon gold, or russet potatoes
2 Tb olive oil
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic salt
salt
1/2 C cheddar cheese, grated
1 Tb bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 Tb cilantro, chopped
1 Tb green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • 2. Grab 4-5 medium-sized Yukon gold, or russet potatoes. I used Yukon gold, so I left the skins on. Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
  • 3. Slice each potato into 1/2 inch strips. Lay the potato strips face down, in two piles.
  • Slice each pile of potatoes into 1/2 inch strips.
  • 4. Toss them into a bowl and drizzle 2 Tb olive oil over the top.
  • 5. In a small bowl combine 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp seasoned salt, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and 1 tsp garlic salt.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning over the top of the potatoes and toss them with some tongs, making sure all of the potato slices get covered with seasoning.
  • 6. Generously spray two large cookie sheets with cooking spray and lay the potatoes out evenly. You want to be sure that none of them over lap. This will ensure they each get nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
  • 7. Toss them into the oven for 25 minutes.
  • Test them with a fork to be sure they are soft in the center. Remove the from the oven and sprinkle salt over the tops.
  • 8. Using a spatula, scoop all of the fries into a deep 9x9 casserole dish, or deep dish pie plate. Sprinkle with 1/2 C cheddar cheese and 1 Tb cooked bacon. Pop the pan into the oven and allow the cheese to melt. Should only take 2-3 minutes.
  • 9. Sprinkle 1 Tb chopped cilantro and 1 Tb chopped green onions on top.
