Fat Free Baked Potato Fries

6 medium potatoes (baked, peeled, and wedged)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp powdered Ranch dressing mis
1 tsp. salt
canola oil spray

Directions:
1-preheat oven to broil at 500 degrees
2-spray a cookie sheet generously with cooking spray
3-lay potatoes on sheet and coat each wedge with spray
4-mix all the spices together and sprinkle all over
5-broil for about 20 min, stirring them every 5 min.

Tips: I like to bake my potatoes in the morning or the day before adn place in the fridge. Then I let them sit out at room temperature for a bit, makes it easy to cut and then doesn't take so much time to make them ubti fries for dinner.
