While this recipe is a more high-calorie dinner that what I've been posting, with only 3.2 grams of saturated fat per serving, it is a very healthy alternative to the pub version. On top of that, it tastes *so* much like the real thing that Mr. Kitchin didn't believe me when I told him it was all baked! He said, "It's simply too delicious." Makes four servings. Recipe from FoodNetwork.com.
Ingredients for the Chips:
- Three Medium Russet Potatoes

oh, yum! and even at 430 calories- that's still pretty good if you eat a lighter lunch!
