Try Baking Your Favorite Fried Foods

My six-year-old son loves French fries. Every time we go out to eat, that is what he wants. He asked if I could get a fryer to make French fries at home so he could have them “all the time.”
I explained that though they taste good, French fries are not good for you. “They take a big vat of oil, make the oil really hot, and put the fries down in the oil to cook them. When they take the fries out, they have to let the oil drip off. Then they put lots of salt on them.” We talked about why too much fat is not healthy and why foods like French fries should only be treats, not regular fair.
My son’s eyes got big and he didn’t ask for a fryer again.
