GARLIC HERB FRIES

Being a parent and trying to {eat clean} can be a challenge, atleast in the beginning.  Kids still have their "go to" foods they love.  One of them being the beloved french fry.


Here's the ingredients in one frozen bag of french fries :
POTATOES, VEGETABLE OIL (SUNFLOWER, COTTONSEED, SOYBEAN, AND/OR CANOLA), MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, RICE FLOUR, SALT, DEXTRIN, CORNSTARCH, LEAVENING (SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE, SODIUM BICARBONATE), DEXTROSE, XANTHAN GUM, ANNATTO (COLOR), DISODIUM DIHYDROGEN PYROPHOSPHATE


In the {eat clean} way of life, if you can't pronounce it...you shouldn't be eating it.


I used to always have frozen french fries on hand in our house.  Not anymore. I have given up on frozen fries and made it my mission to make fries that my family loves and craves. The sweet potato fries were a huge hit, but I wanted more of a traditional fry as well.  That's how I ended up making Garlic Herb Fries.  I just can't get over how super simple they are to make, they taste better, and are better for you!
