These oven fries are tender on the inside but have a nice crunch on the outside, unlike other oven-baked fries.

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.
