I recently saw an advertisement for “naturally cut fries”. Hmm. What is a natural cut fry? I love how the use of the word “natural” makes us think it’s a healthier option. Unfortunately, the way a potato is cut doesn’t make it a healthier option. How about instead of buying naturally cut fries, we make the best naturally cut fries right at home? These organic fries are a healthier option because they are made with olive oil and a little sea salt. In fact, it only takes 3 ingredients to create the best naturally cut fries right in your own kitchen. Try making this recipe tonight because these homemade fries won’t disappoint!
