(NAPSA) – Whether you like them with ketchup, dipping sauce or even mayonnaise, when it comes to favorite foods, few things top French fries. Plus, when bought frozen and then baked, the fries can be a nutritious, affordable and convenient treat.
You can help ensure the fries you buy are made from quality potatoes by looking for the ‘Grown in Idaho(r)’ seal on the bag. Then, simply prepare the fries according to package instructions. Just remember to spread the fries in a single layer on a sheet pan when you bake them, and sprinkle with salt or other seasonings when they first come out of the oven to maximize flavor.
You might also try these ideas for flavorful and nutritious dipping sauces. They come from the Idaho Potato Commission and can be a delectable way to tantalize the taste buds:
