Fries can be the best when they're crispy and a little flaky in my opinion like the way Costco does it (at least in Ontario... I dunno what Costco fries taste like in the US). But sweet potato fries are always safe. They always seem to have the same texture and taste wherever I go.

Damn... not a single person commented sweet potato fries so far. I expected a preference for French fries, but not by this much 😂
I do love sweet potato fries but I can't always eat them. Its a special thing and even better with my own homegrown potatoes. Generally I eat normal fries more often.
Actually hate to burst your bubble, but sweet potato fries are healthier lol.
They provide significantly higher amounts of Vitamin A in the form of beta carotene (the orange pigment), Vitamin C, potassium, and calcium. They also contain more fiber.
They have a lower glycemic index which is better for blood sugar management and overall metabolic health.
They are higher in antioxidants, and while they have more fat, sweet potato fries actually have less saturated fat (the bad fat), which is better for heart health.
The "best " (arguable point?) French fries- the ones that have a nice bit of crunch with a soft and tender inside, even if they have sat for awhile- are made a special way. After the potatoes (skin on, thank you) have been cut into strips, the strips are then coated in a granular starch mixture. (The better ones use a potato starch mixture). Then they are cooked. [ And there is even an argument about THAT! Single dunk, or pre-blanch, and then a fresh-up second dunk in the hot oil, but let's save that part for another day. ]
Simplot company- makes hundreds (if not thousands) of tons of fries a day- and has two versions (that I know of) - "Infinity" (more of a steak fry, I believe) and "Conquest" (more of a shoestring) with the starch coating that holds their crunchy goodness for 40 minutes. The places that use this type of fry will be obvious when you make your late night run, and they are still crunchy when you get home and settle in with your fries and those adorable little ketchup packets. (No, I don't work for Simplot.) :- )
To me "sweet potatoes" are vegetables which don't even come close to real potatoes regarding their taste.
Potatoes are the base of every evening dinner for me, for as long as I can remember, and I love it. Pasta and rice do not feed me, potatoes do. In almost all forms; boiled, steamed, baked, mashed, fried...
Sweet potatoes; I have tried them several times over the years, but I just really hate them; enough to throw them out directly after the first bite every single time. You'd have more succes frying a carrot.
Kumara chips (what we call sweet potato fries here in Aotearoa New Zealand) are nice, but they're often too sweet and not something I can eat very many of without feeling sick. Potato chips (fries) however, I could eat a big ol bowl full! They also tend to get a lot crispier than kumara.
I actually like sweet potato fries, I didn't realize it had more calories though. Luckily I'm on a swim team but I'm pretty sure it could still clog up my arteries. Lol
Think of calories as just the energy in food. Foods can have 0 fat, 0 carbs, 0 sugar, and have a bunch of other healthy stuff in it that makes it healthy.
I know I'm supposed to keep stuff low in sodium because I have a high what is it electrolyte drink I take before swimming and during, don't know if that's the same thing though. The couch always tells me to like stay away from energy drinks he hates energy drinks. Even just drinking water will help. I feel like I should have known that there were good calories and bad calories though the zero fat zero carbs and zero sugar thing though does make sense unlike my ongoing sentences. Lol
Energy drinks have such a disgusting amount of sugar. The less sugar you have in your diet, the better off your body will be. Trust me... age will catch up to you. Sugar slows your metabolism and increases your chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, gaining weight and other health issues.
That's why keto diet says to stay away from even fruits... I know... crazy right. Fruits have a high sugar content. Whereas vegetables have a much lower amount.
Staying away from energy drinks or soft drinks is the best way to go, so your coach is right
I didn't realize fruits have a high sugar content, luckily I don't really like eating sweets or drinking soda. For some reason it makes me feel sick I like those little pre-made salads you can get at Walmart even then I use the little packet of ranch they give you which is apparently not the best health-wise but it makes it so much better. Who's the only sweet thing I can really eat that doesn't make my stomach feel weird as ice cream. My parents only let me have that like maybe twice a year. Lol like ice cream it's good
I think I know exactly which one you're talking about. I love those too.
Fun fact: If you're lactose intolerant, yogurt actually doesn't affect you. So you can enjoy frozen yogurt, which is both healthy and tasty. I actually have always preferred it to ice cream even before knowing that
French fires are superior, at least when they’re made right. Sweet potato tastes like someone threw together some candle wax and wheat and called it a day
