What a surprise! Burger and shoestring fries can make a healthful meal. Potatoes, including fries, provide fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, among other important nutrients, and today’s frozen fries are lower in fat and sodium than in the past. Use lean ground beef and skip the cheese to lower saturated fat. Load up on the veggies and lighten up on condiments, which can be sources of extra fat and sodium.
