The reason things were made the way they were is because that is the best way to make it.

Substitutions are never the same.

I make fries for us adults out of daikon radish to cut the carbs and they are ok but by no means as tasty as those made out of potatoes.

SUCROSE (sugar) tastes more like sugar than all the replacements.

NOT Splenda/Sucralose
NOT Nutrasweet/Aspartame
NOT Xylitol/Erythritol
NOT Monk Fruit or Stevia extract
NOT Saccharine
NOT Advantame
NOT Acesulfame potassium
NOT Malitol/Maltitol
NOT Sorbitol
NOT Dextrose/Maltodextrin
NOT Truvia
NOT Neotame

Etc...

Sugar is what TASTES like sugar.
(It's also what's usually for dessert.)

PS: I make french fries out of sweet potatoes.
(They don't taste like fries made from white potatoes - they taste BETTER actually - in my opinion.)
