My husband is diabetic and I had to stop frying everything. On a rare rare occassion I will fry some fries for the kids, but only in the heart healthy oil (as heart healthy as you can get in oil). The only thing I had trouble with was cube steak (we eat the turkey cube steak) and knowing how to make it taste good without frying. I started using cream of mushroom soup, 98% fat free and baking it. It is really good over brown rice!
Good thing you mentioned that, 'cause it ain't healthy. Try baking the fries in the oven, w/just a bit of Pam or whatever.
