A good late night snack on these cold wet days of spring is homemade shoe string potatoes. Cut the potatoes as thin as you can - like "Picnic" in the can. Use russets and sweet potatoes for a special treat. Do half canola and half olive oil - these oils are good for you and will satisfy that sweet or carb craving.
Deep fry - you only need about an inch of oil - on just above med heat ( 350 degrees). Adjust heat as necessary - don't let it smoke. Fry till golden brown, drain on paper towels, season with salt, pepper and granulated garlic. No need for a dipping sauce as they are so rich and satisfying as is - and like I said - good for you. Best of all they taste heavenly and satisfy that craving w/o killing you. Add a little cayenne if you prefer spicy.
A potato is a vegetable - russet and /or sweet - so they count for that.
