Un-Fried French Fries

French Fries

First recipe! I found the recipe for these Un-Fried French Fries in a Food and Family Magazine (distributed by Kraft). The Recipe was pretty simple, with only THREE ingredients! Here it is:
1. 1-1/2 lbs baking potatoes (~3 medium)
2. 1/4 cup Italian Dressing (Recipe calls for Kraft reduced fat)
3. 1/4 cup Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (Recipe calls for Kraft reduced fat)

Surprisingly, this recipe came with no faux-pas! It was very simple to carry out and easy to bake! My fries required no additional salt, the dressing adds the saltiness along with other flavors!

My judging goes as follows (5 Best-1 Worst):
Ease: 5
Time: 4
Flavor: 4
