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
