Gluten-free Fries? Maybe. Maybe Not.

French Fries are yummy.   But sometimes a little extra yummy is a wheat or corn flour coating.  Frozen potatoes (at home or in restaurants) can be coated with some kind of flour, and the corn flour they are coated with could have been processed wtih wheat flour.  Sigh. In addition (sign again), most restaurants use the same fryers for wheat coated chicken (etc.), as they do their french fries, so the flour gets on the naked potato. 

But don't be blue about your maize dunked potatoes.  There are several restaurants that have a gluten-free fryers. In Grand Rapids, The Blue Water Grill, some locations of Outback are a couple joints that accommodate french fry loving gluten-free folk. And some frozen products mark their taters as "gluten-free".  Read the labels and contact the company to find out more about their processing.

Do you have a favorite restaurant or brand that has truly gluten-free potato goodness?  Tell us.
