It could be a turkey burger, a grilled chicken sandwich or an empty plate…I’ll have fries with that. Unfortunately, the restaurant-style side dish is not only drenched in fat and salt, but the conventional white potato is a total snooze fest. Making your own “fries” using red potatoes and a kick-in-your-pants seasoning gives you more vitamin C, fewer calories and much more flavor. Considering it only takes two ingredients and 20 minutes, there’s no excuse not to have homemade.
