French Fries Can Be…Healthy?
09 Aug 2021
Let’s take a look at the humble potato. Potato skin is a good source of potassium, vitamin C, B6, and fiber. Deep-frying does not change the nutritional value very much, but does increase the number of calories per serving and eventual weight gain over repeated consumption. The other problem is the addition of salt. How do you make french fries healthier? Try leaving the skin on, bake them in the oven instead of frying in oil, and seasoning them with herbs and spices instead of salt. You can also try this with other root vegetables! Sweet potatoes, parsnips or carrots to name a few.
