French Fries!! Just saying the word makes my mouth water, but did you know that when you get fries from lets say McDonalds
- They are full of starch, which can cause diabetes
- The potatoes most of the time are sprinkled with sugar, to keep you wanting more (because everyone know us Americans are sugar addicts) which can cause diabetes and obesity
- They are covered with salt, which can cause high blood pressure possibly leading to a heart attack and stroke
- They lose all nutrition once fried
so bottom line.....
There are NO nutritonal benefits of fast food french fries at all
so here is a recipe my mom makes all the time, it was a favorite growing up and its a favorite in my home now
Ingredients
3 potatoes- I used rustic this time but my favorite are yellow potatoes
2 T. EVOO or enough to coat potatoes
1 T. Dill weed
1 T. Chives
1/2 T. Paprika
Directions
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into Strips.
- Place cut potatoes in large bowl and rinse with cold water until water is clear.
- Dry potatoes well and toss with EVOO, chives, dill weed and paprika (use just enough EVOO to coat – about 2 T.)
- Place coated potatoes on baking sheets and place in the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then toss. Continue baking (and tossing every 10 minutes) for 50-60 minutes or until evenly browned and crispy.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.
Bake at 400 degrees
