"skinny" Fries
"This recipe comes from The New American Diet Cookbook with some changes by me. The secret here is to soak the potatoes in ice water for 10 to 15 minutes while the oven is preheating."

Yummers! I love everything Cajun-style. I made these as directed as a side to a sandwich. So simple and so good. Thanks, Paula for sharing. Made for Zaar Stars Tag. -
These were very easy and good. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag Game 2010. -
Wow! I thought these were just perfect. Except mine were "fat". Oh, they are suppose to help make you skinny, I get it now. Very easy to throw together and I was surprised that they were cooked in the 30 minute time frame. Loved the cajun seasoning. Thanks for posting. :) -
These fries are so yummy and healthy. 1 tablespoon of oil was enough. I used 2 teaspoon of club house cajun seasoning. No salt and pepper was needed. Thanks Paula :) Made for Healthy tag game -
4 1/2 stars. These are good. I used olive oil to be healthy and Recipe #33092 without salt or pepper because it contains salt in the seasoning and I thought it was already spicy so didn't add the pepper for that reason. They were crispy but a little too dry. I guess I would up the oil for taste and texture. Made for March Into Spring Tag.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
