Day 36 - french fries

I admit, I do not lead the healthies diet there is, what with all the carbohydrates and junk food. But I feel cravings for such food at the moment, so I'll just go ahead and eat it, I don't mind. I know one day I'll just start craving salads, and I'll eat salads for a week straight. That's how I function.

Today's menu was actually more about spinach. That is, I had a stash of frozen spinach awaiting to meet its destiny in the pot and everything else just played along.

I've written about spinach before, but this time I present you with a better picture. This is what happens when you actually bother to take the big camera out and snap a few shots while lunch is being cooked.

The procedure to prepare spinach is almost the same. I've added some more soy milk, some less margarine and far less breadcrumbs and it was still very yummy.

This is a picture of the final dish, all ingredients assembled. But the real winner were those juicy french fries. I like them best when they're home made from fresh potatoes, no frozen semi-made shit. I had such huge potatoes that I only used 1 (!) and had a serving for 2 people, that I ate entirely on my own. Am ashamed. But, I do rarely make french fries anyway. So that's a consolation.

FRENCH FRIES
serves: 2

300 - 400 g potaotes
frying oil
pinch of salt

Take about 300 - 400 g of potatoes. Peel them, wash, dry and slice in french-fries form (long sticks). In a iron-cast pan heat just about enough oil to cover the potates and 1 cm higher. The potatoes need to float in the oil, not be stuck to the bottom of the pan. When the oil is frying hot, place the sliced potatoes in it and fry until they are golden brown (turn them mid-frying to fry on the other side). Remove from pan and place them on kitchen paper to soak up the extra oil. Remove from paper, salt to taste and serve hot.
