Baked French Fries with a flavorful twist!
Who doesn’t love french fries? I have to say they are definitely a weakness of mine. With the warm nights approaching french fries are great alongside burgers or steaks made on the grill!
I thought I’d find a way to make really delicious fries that are baked as opposed to fried in order to save calories! And I really love the way these turned out! The mustard powder with a hint of cayenne really gives them a great boost of flavor! And of course, you can always add as much cayenne as you like, but we all know I’m a sissy when it comes to spice!
They are so simple and have come out perfect every time!
