Hey Fam Bam!
These days my daughter (younger child) has been slowly eliminating foods from her diet. She has decided that she no longer wants to eat the same foods that she sees us eat together as a family. One of her few favorites at the moment are French fries. She loooves them! We have been going back and forth with the ideas of allowing her to eat them or attempting to put our parental foot down and make her eat what we provide. Besides, French fries are usually loaded with trans fats that in time cause high levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), could act as carcinogens (cancer causing), among other risky factors.
In my best attempt to lower her exposure to those risks and substitute the unhealthy oils used in French fries, I made an organic homemade version with minimal oil and salt. Needless to say, she loved my fries! It was a perfectly crispy home run in our house, and they were delicious!
