Oh my goodness! What a great substitute for french fries. I tried a low carb diet for a couple of weeks, a few months ago, and lost 7 pounds. I did not stay on it because the food choices were so limited. I tried a low-fat diet, that didn't work, so I'm back on low-carb. One of the things I crave is french fries, which I can't have on a low carb diet. I made this with soy flour and no corn starch to try and keep carbs down. It satisfied my french fry craving and can be a healthy food on any diet. Thank you, thank you.

LOVED these! Even my anti-veggie kids ate these. Excellent recipe. I was running short on time, so didn't get them quite as crispy as I wanted, but still really yummy. One of the previous reviewers has an excellent point....you MUST cut the pieces small. The bigger ones ended up soggy. I will make these again and again. Thanks!

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
