Who doesnt love French Fries !!!

I would rather have tater tots or tater gems, or even hash browns with gravy. I want sausage in mine, please.

You two have weird tastes when it comes to fries LOL....(joking) @ CHER: Im in Canada and I live in the province of Quebec, the birthplace of "poutine" and I cant eat that. I dont like it at all. I wouldnt mind if it didnt have the cheese in it. Fries with gravy is ok but no cheese!! Some do it with spaghetti sauce and cheese over the fries.....my Italian grandparents must be turning in their graves about that one LOL. Thanks!!

I think where I live we only get sweet potatoes and not yams. I would not be able really to tell the difference.

i love onion rings. some restraunts just don't know how to cook them right. I personally don't like sweet potato. yams are the best though. I haven't tried making french fries with yams, if that is even possible. have you ever tried it?

@ GG: you're lucky if you dont like FF. I crave them sometimes and since I like the greasy type, its not very good health wise! I dont think we have yams here either, so I dont know if they cook the same as sweet potatoes. I never buy frozen or boxed potatoes...always fresh ones. I know of a recipe where you cut your potatoes as if you're going to boil them but instead of filling up the pot with water, you use olive oil to cover the potatoes, so they are drowned in olive oil and you let them simmer gently. You'd think they would taste greasy but they dont. You end up with delicious, moist potatoes. You can then sift your oil and use it again. @ Lizzy: I love onion rings also and theres only one restaurant who makes them the way I like them. So Ive decided to make my own now and when family comes over, they want my onion rings......so I put them all to work because its a lot of work. Id try it with yam...try it with one to start. Thanks both of you!

No, its just plain potatoes for us. Actually the concept of fried sweet potatoes is just not there in our eating habits...sweet potatoes are either curried or made into sweets. I've never had sweet potato fritters or FF with them

We have think FF here too, not sure if they call is that or not. I call them skinny FF lol. Im going to sound like an idiot now but I honestly thought that you could get FF anywhere in the world!!! Maybe now that you have McD over there you'll start putting on weight now!! Im curious to know if you have sweet potatoes or just plain potatoes?

@ Anora: You cant have potatoes on the atkins. Ive been told and I will try this over the weekend that cauliflower can be cooked in the oven until crisp and apparently its simply DELICIOUS!! So my guess is you dont have to miss your sweet potato fries! @ Jenne: They taste delicious...sweet as the name says. Its very easy to do. Buy sweet potatoes, peel them, cut them up in thin strips, put them in a bowl, pour a bit of olive oil and toss, you can also add salt, pepper, spices if you want. Then lay on a cookie sheet and bake at 425F for about 15 mins. Let me know if you try it and if you like it!! Thanks!

HI! I wonder how sweet potato fries taste like. I'd like to know, thanks.

Hello! You're right, you let the paper towel absorb the grease and then your fries are healthy and taste delicious. If you have access to sweet potato, they come in the frozen section, you should try them. They are delicious! Thanks!

Believe it or not, if you read up, you'll find that some dont like FF. Im not one of them. I like mine with ketchup also. I think its a comfort food for a lot of people lol. Thanks!

I agree with you lilaclady, Potatoes are healthy, provided you eat them in small portions. I think that they got a bad reputation, because they are starchy which can ruin your diet if you need to loose weight. Also if you eat french fries and they are made with the right fat they are healthy too, again provided you don't overdo it. By the way any vegetable you put in water too cook it, becomes more acidic thus turns out to be less good for you. So french fries cooked in the right fat are not at all unhealthy.

I agree with both of you when you say potatoes are healthy and good for you. The problem is our minds....we have been told over and over that potatoes are fattening and we believe it unconsciously!! I too could live on meat and potatoes lol. Thank you both for sharing with me!

I make my own also and its delicious. They say any food should be eaten in moderation. So once in a while, we can have some french fries lol. Thanks for replying!

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Well at least you didnt miss eating them while you were preggo. Ive found a few on here who dont like FF. I sort of envy them. I crave them often but resist eating them because its fattening. No matter what we try to tell ourselves, it IS fattening lol. Happy your appetite for FF is back. I'll have them at least once a week. Thanks for replying!!

Sorry it took me so long to get back!! Sounds like some people DONT like FF. If you read up, you'll see a few of them. Maybe its just as well since FF are not that good for us from what they say. Oh I know about those....arent they delicious? Thanks !!

You need to try sweet potatoes FF soon and I bet you're going to love them. I do mine in the oven. I have a deep fryer but why use frozen fries when its so easy to make fresh ones. Thanks!

I'll have frozen FF only when I cant find any fresh ones, but its nothing like the fresh stuff! Yes of course its a food and potato is good for us, right? lol Thanks for replying and hurray for FF!!

I havent heard that about fries and cancer. If you listen to all they say, it sounds like everything can make you sick lately. I eat what I like and what makes me feel good. So I'd say, if you like them...eat them. You're right, theres nothing like deep fried haha!! Now Im the one craving them!! Thanks!

You are wicked haha. I know its a lot of calories but if we run or exercise, we burn it all, right? So why not enjoy them and I like the idea of you having them everytime you go on a date haha.....thats a good idea!! Thanks!

Im one who doesnt put salt on my fries.......honest!! I can have them nature as it is and still like it. I love potatoes, boiled, fried, oven baked. I even use unsalted butter because my husband had a stroke 4 yrs ago and I had to learn to cook with not much salt. I must have been doing something right because his BP is way down now Yay me!! You sound like you like salt. Take it one day at a time and use herbs instead, you'll get over it in no time. Thank you for sharing that much information!!

Well your husband doesnt know what he's missing out on. As long as you're happy and you like eating them, well make something else for him then...thats what id do. Thanks!!

Sounds like you are a FF lover!! I dont like frozen ones that much myself but if you do, more power to you!! Thanks for replying!!

I know about obsessions!! Well enjoy them while you have them. Sounds delicious with that sauce. I might have to try it!! Thanks!

Yes there is, in the oven on a cookie sheet. Its how I do mine now and its not exactly the same but its still delicious!! Try it and let me know!! Thank you!

I know what you mean. I dont eat it that much myself anymore but once in a while, its nice to splurge a little. Thanks!
