What’s not to love about French fries? Despite their name, they have become one of America’s favorite foods. The average American eats a whopping 29 pounds of deep-fried potatoes annually.
Since today is National French Fries day, we’re sharing a healthy recipe for Roasted Potato Wedges from the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa. (pritikin.com). Note to fat fiends: this recipe calls for red wine vinegar instead of oil, so buyer beware.
After living in France, I prefer eating my French fries with Dijon mustard. You might want to grill up some healthy, chicken sausages to go with the garlicky fries. With a Giants baseball game on TV casino online and a cold beer in hand, you can pretend you’re at the park, without the crowds or the high prices.
