Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

These oven fries are tender on the inside but have a nice crunch on the outside, unlike other oven-baked fries.
4 russet potatoes, cut lengthwise into 12 wedges
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Dip the cut potatoes in egg to coat and place in a bowl. Mix the remaining ingredients and sprinkle over the potatoes; toss well to coat.
Place the wedges on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and bake for 15 minutes or until crisp.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because of the egg whites but based on the review I decided to give it a shot. I never would have tried it otherwise and it really was a good recipe. The texture was better than most baked fries so the trick must be the egg. I did cut down some of the spices but otherwise left it as is.

I love the idea of oven fries, but typically they just don't turn out as good as ones that are actually fried. However, this recipe has a twist to it because the potato wedges are coated with egg whites first. I hadn't tried that method before and I have to say, I liked it! The seasonings were tasty and the fries were tender on the inside but had a nice crispness.
