French Fries for the Vegan Soul
How to get a basket of warm, salty, fresh french fries at home without a deep fryer
French fries are one of the foods that hold a special place in the hearts of vegans everywhere as this delicious and simple preparation of potatoes are usually made with vegan-friendly ingredients.
