A healthy twist

No matter how strong your will, temptations will arise. Let's take those golden arches for instance. Hamburgers are pretty simple to make healthy. First off, don't eat them from a fast food place... lol. Not totally true. The "kids" hamburgers are actually decent options. That's how big the burgers used to be when McDonalds opened. Now they're about double the size.
The real substitute I wanted to talk about is french fries.Those deeply fried potatoes can be made much healthier at home. The key is too soak the potatoes after slicing them for 30 minutes (make sure to slice evenly for better cooking). This helps remove some of the starch. Then dry them off really well on parchment paper.

Cut potatoes
Soak for 30 min
dry on parchment paper
coat with a little oil
season to taste
bake at 400 for 45 minutes or until brown
