Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 cup, shredded Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 whole Jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
- 2 whole Scallions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the russet potatoes into thin wedges, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potato wedges and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the nacho sauce by combining fat-free Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cheddar cheese in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir frequently, allowing the cheese to melt and form a smooth sauce. Remove from heat once smooth.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the warm nacho sauce over the fries.
Garnish with sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, diced cherry tomatoes, and sliced scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Nacho Fries!
