same here. It always grossed me out when my friends would add about 4-6 salt packets to the rectangular pizza from the high school cafeteria.
Dang you Bojangle's!

^ I've got high blood pressure pre-programmed into my genes. We tend to pick low or no sodium stuff when we can. I do breakdown and slather my french fries in salt when I get them though.

I remember you saying that you like to cook. Lately, as a nice side dish I've been making sweet potato fries with some of my dinners. They're super easy if you have a mandoline. I slice them very thin (like bistro fries), throw them in the frier for 4 or 5 minutes and they don't need any salt. I don't know if they're that bad for you since there isn't anything for the oil to soak in to.

How will one of these help me to cook?
Yes I do love to cook. I don't know what a mandoline is. I gotta look into that. I haven't had sweet potato fries often, but they are tasty.
I don't own a deep fryer. I don't have much use for one, but every now and again it would come in handy. Though, if I showed up with one, it would probably go over about as well as if I bought a stripper home instead.

Then without a doubt bring the stripper home. I have a cast iron dutch oven that I use for frying. It has a fry basket that goes with it. I don't think I'd want a fryer because it seems like it is more difficult to reuse the oil with one of those and I don't like leaving oil sitting around. It gets rancid.
Insert obligatory dutch oven joke here.
Do the sweet potatoes really not soak up much of the oil? I hate sweet potatoes, but love the sweet potato fries that the bar back in PA used to serve. They'd serve them with a side of the house hot sauce and blue cheese, and were to die for.

Damn, I was at a seminar all day. Otherwise I so woulda been on that dutch oven + stripper business.
We tend to make home fries in the oven, no fat other than a little cooking spray involved. Does that work with sweet potatoes?

It's worth a try. Maybe I should go that route. My wife loves a baked sweet potatoe and the fried sweet potatoes as well.
And she loves when I cook in the dutch oven.

Sorry dude, but I gotta call you out on the whole 'potato' vs. 'potatoe' thing.

However, I'm treading on dangerous ground. One of YKW's offenses was calling out grammar and spelling. I'll chalk it up to thinking of typing 'potatoes', and changing your mind mid-type. Nick-name suggestion rescinded. And I would like to point out, I never said you were an idiot.

Oh, I know. I was referring to one of the other posts today where someone claimed that half the population in this country are idiots. I know I'm not an idiot, just batshit crazy. :screwloose:

^But your posts are fascinating to read! I always appreciate hearing other people's point of view especially when they are different than my own.

The funny thing about that is that I can remember i the teacher telling us in 1st grade that either spelling was correct, but potato was becoming the more correct.
Take it for what it was worth. it was 1972.
^I now have no further questions to ask.
