Baked French fries

Hi,

I am a big French fries fan or should I say potato fan but my love of potato made me resemble one .So I was looking for a healthy option to curb my urge for occasional French fries .I tried many combinations but my baked French fries never tasted the same .. But nevertheless I was determined to find the recipe which tastes like the fried ones .I tried various seasonings and oven temperature combination and arrived at this recipe ... Hope you and your kids enjoy this healthy alternative ...

Serves :2 -3
Ingredients :

2 large potato ( evenly sliced) 
2 tbsp cooking oil ( Sunflower ,canola ,vegetable oil etc)
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
Salt as per taste
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic mince or garlic salt (Optional)

Directions :

Preheat oven to 450F or 230C.
Place a cooling rack on top of baking plate or sheet.
Cut potato in even strips.
In a big bowl combine the oil and seasoning. Add the potato pieces and toss to coat. Keep remaining oil/seasoning.
Spread fries onto cooling rack on baking sheet.
Cook for 20-30 minutes until done. Every 10 minutes, turn fries to ensure even baking and brush more seasoning/oil onto the fries.
