My sister is a celiac and I can't imagine her eating ANY potato product, much less french fries. Am I wrong??

Potatoes have no gluten, to my knowledge, but I am not an expert, by any means. I know that rice cakes with PEANUT BUTTER were my daughters favorite snack! You can find more info at my link above...

If you haven't already, pick up a copy of Sally Fallon's cookbook, "Nourishing Traditions".

Re Gluten: Soak your grains first. Warm water and yogurt. Especially oats, rye, barley and wheat. Doing so breaks down the phytic acid contained in the outer layer. Many people tolerate grains much better this way.

Want your pancakes to taste better? Soak the flour for 12 to 24 hours in buttermilk, sour or cultured milk or cream. Whoa, what a difference. Just like my grandmother used to make.
