Bake Your Way to Better Health

French fries are traditionally, well, fried. The frying process can add trans fats and omega-6 fatty acids, which can cause inflammation and should be avoided. When you slice your fresh potatoes up and crisp them in the oven instead, you have a healthy side dish that’s still delicious. Try mixing up your seasonings for variety—spicy seasonings, garlic salt, and ranch seasonings all work very well with homemade French fries.
