First rule of eating: if you enjoy it, it’s bad for you.
All things in moderation, control yourself. I love fries , I really love fried chicken. I don’t eat it every week. It’s an occasional treat.
I don’t like French Fries. Too much grease and salt.
I eat potatoes vevery night with dinner. My Irish ancestors did too. Organic red, white or purple potatoes. Scrub them, cut into bite-sized pieces and steam them in big pot. Then mash up with a fork, put extra virgin olive oil on them and sprinkle with organic parseley I get at Safeway.
Steaming is easiest way to cook them and preserves the most vitamins.
I love French fries and fried chicken. We try to keep the fried chicken to every 3 weeks and French fries very occasionally. Mostly we do baked potatoes.
