You can thank me later. What ya need: 2 large baking potatoes 4 teaspoons of plain breadcrumbs (you don't need panko, but it works) 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder 1/4 teaspoon of kosher sea salt 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper 2 egg whites non-stick cooking spray Ok, so- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Now, half the potatoes, lengthwise and then cut each half into 1/4 inch thick fries. Pat the fries dry with a paper towel and set them aside. In a large plastic Ziploc, or off-brand, bag mix together the spices and the breadcrumbs. Then, in a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are a little foamy.
