Deep-fried foods are good in taste but not so good for health. But, most people, aware of the fact, consume these harmful foods regularly.
It may be difficult for them to prioritise health before taste and cravings. But is it possible to make deep-fried foods like French fries or potato wedges with less oil?
If the answer is yes, then it’s good news, since one can continue having tasty foods without causing problems for the health.
