I am reading a Diabetes Care food book and discovered a frightening bit of information about the wonderful Potato and what we humans do to it an to ourselves in the process. When we fry a potato the greater the surface area we expose to fat or oils the more we change the potato.
We are dealing with one 3 oz potato prepared in 5 ways.
Raw or baked 0 grams of fat 65 calories
Roasted 5 grams of fat 155 calories
Fries large cut 12 grams of fat 220 calories
Fries small cut 15 grams of fat 265 calories
Chips 30 grams of fat 450 calories
Enough said!
