Spicy baked potatoes, delicious aromatic recipe
Although the chips are extremely delicious, especially if they are well fried and crispy, the truth is that they are not a very healthy option, especially if we do not choose the most suitable oil and we tend to fry them in excess, and we also consume them regularly. .
In this sense, if the chips you love, the best option is to choose a good extra virgin olive oil, never reuse the oil once it has been used in the kitchen and try that the potatoes are not fried at a very high temperature , since we run the risk of forming acrylamide, a compound that is generated in foods when they are fried and temperatures of more than 100 degrees Celsius are reached.
But this does not mean that we can not enjoy delicious and delicious potatoes. In fact, there are much healthier ways to cook them, without having to add more fat or oil than is strictly necessary for their preparation.
