Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to resemble fries.
Step 3
Place the potato strips in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the fries evenly.
Step 4
Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not too crowded to allow even cooking.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the fries are baking, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan, bring the low-sodium broth to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 8
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering broth, ensuring no lumps form.
Step 9
Add soy sauce and onion powder to the gravy, continuing to whisk until it thickens to your desired consistency. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more broth to thin it out.
Step 10
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 11
Serve the crispy low-fat French fries hot, with the rich gravy on the side or drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
