While trying to make a local dish called a “garbage plate”, I wworked on figuring out how to make low-fat home fries. They are actually very easy to make, and are pretty good.

Ingredients:
one potato per person
salt

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 500 degrees. While oven is heating up, peel potatoes. Cut into cubes about 1/2″-3/4″ square. On a baking sheet spread a layer of baking parchment. Spread the potato cubes on the parchment, and give them a very light spray with the vegetable oil. When oven comes to temp, bake the potatos for 10 minutes. Remove the tray, and turn the potato cubes over using a spatula. If you don’t get them all turned over, don’t worry about it too much. Give them another very light spray with the vegetable oil. Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve.
