I think fries are healthy enough. Just don't pig out!

My favorite way to make fries: gold potato, mandolin, cut into very thin fries like 1/8". Pat dry with paper towels. Deep fry until golden, in batches. Toss with salt and whatever seasoning you like. Eat immediately.

The key is to maximize the ratio of crunchy salty crust to soft bland interior. The thinner the fry, the better the ratio.

Many times it's the process and methods that make it work.

Heck they only perfected this cold oil method using over 50 pounds of Spuds in various cooking methods............I might have to try it, but I'm not a fry person really.

That looks excellent. We made very simple scallops last weekend, too busy cleaning my plate to take a photo's.

Made a cake for a Paddy's day party. Everyone will have green tongue tomorrow. :)
