I am so much into swede chips done in duck fat at the moment.Im type 1 and should avoid them the way they spike me but i cant resist
il have to give them a go do you prepare them the way you would ordinary chips xI am so much into swede chips done in duck fat at the moment.
Yes. If you prepare chips like me and simply add fat to a pan and fry in the old fashioned way. I think the frying works better if you chip the swede and cook it first. You are just browning then not waiting for the swede to cook through. I also cut the chips quite thin like American fries. You do get a slight taste of swede but I don't mind that as they are a lot less carbs than potatoes. Even OH likes them. Personal choice I find duck fat gives the better taste although I have also tried with coconut oil and this is ok too. Tried celeriac chips as an alternative they are edible but wouldn't be my first preference. Here is a link for an oven baked alternative. https://ketodietapp.com/Blog/lchf/Low-carb-French-Fries, haven't tried this method but may give it a go.il have to give them a go do you prepare them the way you would ordinary chips x
