FRENCH FRY SUBSTITUTES
Diet & Weight Loss Questions &
Answers
Q. I'm on a diet and I really miss french
fries. Any suggestions for a good substitute? ~ The Frying
Cajun, Louisiana USA
A. Frying Cajun, there are several
alternatives that you can try. One is to thinly slice a clean
potato. No need to strip off the skin, either! Next, spray
a pan with no-calorie cooking spray and when it is warm, lay a few
slices of potato into the pan and allow it to cook completely on
one side, then flip and cook the other side. Lightly salt and pepper.
Serve with tangy catsup. These are especially good when
seasoned with large grains of cracked pepper.
Some other alternatives include:
baked potato chips, WOW potato chips (though they ignite the 'trots'
in some individuals), and canned new potatoes. You can even
slice the new potatoes and 'fry' them as instructed with the
fresh potato above. Every now and then, enjoy a small
pack of REAL french fries! Remember, 'A diet without treats,
isn't very sweet.' ~ Sky at Diet Bites
