Parmesan baked Jo Jo potatoes.

I found this recipe in a Kraft Food & Family Magazine about 10 years ago and I use it 2 or 3 times a month. It's one of those recipes you can keep coming back to over and over because they are basically french fries and most people i know love fries! There is good news if you are on a low kick too, I made these the other night with rutabaga not carb free just less than a regular white potato.

Here is the recipe:
3-4 Medium sized potatoes I usually use the Yukon Gold ones.
1 egg white lightly beaten
1/4 Cup Parmesan cheese grated
Garlic salt I don't use a certain amount, I just know what we like. I like the kind with the parsley flakes built in.

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare a pan. Lightly rub olive or whatever oil you usually use. Spray is okay but I like a thin layer of oil so they get crispy.
Beat egg white in a bowl. Not for a long time, just a couple seconds so its frothy. Add Parmesan and garlic salt and stir.
toss the potatoes in the mixture. They will not be fully coated. it will look patchy.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes they will start to brown. Turn over and back another 15-20 minutes. Sometimes I will flip a second time somewhere in the second time slot. Please watch these as oven times and temps do vary.  
 This is not my photo as I forgot to take a pic before we ate them (lol) but these look very similar to mine. Only I like mine crispy so mine are a shade or two darker.
