These slow-cooked fries absorb only about 1-tablespoon of fat per serving -- much less than most people slather on a baked potato via butter or sour cream.

Home made French fries don't have to be messy or high in calories, and they don't need to be fried twice in a gallon of oil, as most recipes suggest.

For perfectly simple home-cooked fries for four to six people, pour 2-1/2 cups of peanut oil into a large skillet, but -- this is important -- do not turn on the heat.

Stir in two pounds of raw potatoes cut into strips. Now turn the heat to medium-high and cook until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

 Potato chips were invented at Saratoga Springs, New York in 1853 when Commodore Vanderbilt complained to his steward that he made his French fries too thick, the steward who was a little put out, sliced some potatoes as thin as he could, placed them in boiling grease and served them. Needless to say the Commodore was delighted.
