Comment on 10 Tips to Make your Oven Fries Crispier by Health Foodie

Hi Lisa,

When soaking potatoes, some water-soluble vitamins do indeed leach into the water. The longer you soak them, the more vitamins you lose. But it will be far from all the vitamins. Just soak them briefly, swirl them around and rinse until clear. On the other hand, you also lose starch, which is what you want.

I love sweet potato fries and have always soaked them in water ahead of time as that was in the recipe I was given. One question about this, however, does soaking them in water remove all of the good vitamins from them also?

My son is autistic and, consequently, has some issues with food textures. Thus, we have long “hidden” proteins (e.g., diced, shaved turkey) and pre-cooked or canned veggies in mashed potatoes. He is now a late teen and eats a LOT and has started putting on extra pounds. In an effort to cut starches, I have experimented with mashed cauliflower. My first efforts were soundly rejected. Tonight, I tried your recipe with minor modifications, and he snarfed it down. Thank you!!!
