Actually, sweet potatoes have a lower GI than potatoes (as you can see

I suppose sweet potato fries are out too.
Since french fries has always been one of my food weaknesses, I've tried to switch over to roasted root vegetables with lots of garlic, onions and spices. Or just cutting up potatoes fry style and broiling with cayenne pepper.
Jicama is low on the GI scale & I'm trying that next!

I think I'll make some now.
