Red potatoes are cut into sticks, coated with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, oil, basil and garlic powder, and baked until crisp.

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 medium red potatoes
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, oil, basil and garlic powder until well mixed.
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks (you don't need to peel them but you can if you wish).
Add the potatoes to the cheese mixture and toss well to completely coat.
Place the potatoes in a 15" x 10" x 1" baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and continue baking for 15-20 minutes longer or until crisp and tender.

The were super! Since they're baked, and not fried, they were lighter tasting, not as greasy, and had way less sodium than what you would get at a restaurant.

Another winner, this time in the form of french fries! We added just a little more oil than called for because our potatoes were a little larger than "medium". Actual cooking time may vary, ours took a little longer to get "crisp and tender" (5-10 minutes more)
