It’s hard to believe these crisp oven-baked “fries” are totally fat-free. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these sticks are reminiscent of your favorite fried potatoes with loads more flavor. Egg whites adhere the spices and help the outer texture keep some snap, while the simple blend of cumin, salt, pepper and chili powder add a Tex-Mex flavor. If you are using a hot chili powder, omit the pepper so they are not too hot. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce as an easy snack or serve alongside your favorite burger. Ready in just 30 minutes, these potatoes also pair well with fish for a fun twist on the English favorite. Kids might eat more than their share so you may want to make a double batch.
