One of the big downfalls of the American diet is deep fried foods. Most of these are purchased from a fast food establishment, and are one of the worst foods you can eat. Deep frying destroys the nutrients in the potato and the amount of fat is just unhealthy. You can make your own 'fries' at home and control the ingredients and have a much healthier side dish than anything you can get from those convenience food joints.
Following is a 'B-Fitt!' exclusive recipe for homemade 'better than fries'.
Makes 1 serving
1-2 organic potatoes
(Rinse, peel and cut potatoes....any shape preference, discs, sticks, etc.)
Add seasonings. I used organic extra virgin olive oil, Bragg Organic Sprinkle and fresh ground pepper. Use enough to coat potatoes well.
Put seasonings into a plastic bag, add potatoes, seal bag and shake and knead bag to coat potatoes.
Pour potatoes onto pan and spread them out (I use aluminum foil to cut down on mess)...bake in toaster oven (or conventional oven) @ 425-450 degrees (Fahrenheit), turning at least once until potatoes are to desired crispness (I like mine really crispy!)
Enjoy! :-)
