Jennieor Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I have seen yes and no to white potatoes. I want to make "fries" from fresh potatoes and bake them. is that ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yes. White potatoes are allowed as of Summer 2014. You can bake them in the oven as you describe. No deep fat frying, but baking them is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMoreno Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hi. I started yesterday and I'm still reading the It Starts with Food and learned that white potatoes are okay but is it okay to cook them on the stove in a pan with a little of olive oil? Thanks.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted April 2, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2016 cooking them in a little olive oil in a pan is okay... shallow frying (deep frying in a shallow pan) is not okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaGirl Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Didn't I just say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted April 2, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2016 Didn't I just say that? I couldn't send you a private message, which is what I would have preferred. We as moderators are expected to make sure that questions are answered clearly, not only for the folks that ask the question, but for the people who come along later looking for answers. I clarified that shallow frying was not okay, just like deep frying. It's okay if more than one person answers a question because each person brings to the table a different way of speaking or typing that may be more easily understood by different people.

praxisproject Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 They're also great for baking and mashing If you can get any, great with duck fat too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time sugar in a food matters is when it's something that's been added to the food, which would be listed in the ingredients on a package of any food that has stuff added to it.

Physibeth Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Even better than olive oil is duck fat, ghee, or bacon fat. MMMMMM! And I always sprinkle mine liberally with compliant garlic salt. Redmond brand is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
