    egghead2004,[p]I grill fish, boneless/skinless chicken breasts, 95% lean burgers, filet minion, and other lower-fat items as a rule. I save my pork butts, ribs, and fatty steaks for special occasions. I've lost 50 lbs on weight watchers as an Egg owner who cooks at least 4 nights a week (usually 6 or 7) on my BGE.[p]Get that cholesterol down!

    CT Grillguy,
    I'm working on it, it isn't too bad now, but it has gone up over the last 2 years, hmmm, I got the egg 2 years ago. Doc wants me to be cautions so I can have those tasty treats every now and then.[p]I love beef tenderloin on the egg, lots of Salmon, pork loin, and veggies. [p]I am going to miss the prime rib, pulled pork, babybacks, chicken wings...damn I love chicken wings. [p]I'm going to take it easy and test again in the fall to see where I stand.

    my doctor recommended the atkins diet when my cholesterol started to rise. it dropped about 30 points and stayed there. bread and pasta kick it up for me.

    Richard,
    So that's how you get the fries crispy!![p]Ahh, no that is not the one. I need to stay away from the frying for a bit, but that does soound good. [p]Someone cut potatoes real thin and grilled them till they were crispy.[p]I can't remember the temp or how long. [p]

    egghead2004,[p]Let's see if the second time is the charm!![p] Potatoes, Taters, Julie
    [p]Ingredients:
    1 potato per person
    Seasonings (see directions)



    Directions:
    1 Slice potatoes crosswise as thinly as you can without getting frustrated. ( I use one of those cheapo plastic mandolines that you see on TV...)
    2 Get out a cookie sheet. Rip off a piece of foil that is just a little more than twice as long as the cookie sheet. Fold it in half and put on the cookie sheet. Fold the top half of the foil back and grease bottom half with olive oil, butter (or your favorite brand of "Looks Like Butter!").
    3 Overlap potato slices in columns, repeating until the potatoes are gone or the cookie sheet is full.
    4 Drizzle or brush olive oil or 'butter', or grill sauce* on the potatoes. Top with your favorite spice blend, herbs from your garden (or grocery store) and/or some Parmesan (cheddar or whatever) cheese & salt, and fresh ground pepper. PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD Try all your favorite sauces, herbs and/or spices. Fold foil back over potatoes and then fold edges securely over & over each other to form a seal.
    5 When the fire is ready, slide the package off of the cookie sheet onto the grill. Cook until potatoes are as cooked or crunchy as you desire.


    Servings: 1

    eeghead2004,[p] I cope :) Splenda helps cut down on the carbs in the sauces, mops and rubs I use. I made a low card sweet potato pie for a competition and it placed 5th (You should have seen 4th - 1st just looking at them raised by blood sugar), and nobody knew it had Splenda in it.[p] My toughest Splenda critic was surprised it in the recipe.. He had no problem sucking the meat off the left over ribs either :)

    Richard,[p]375 degree oil for 300 minutes???..... I think there is a typo somewhere in the number of minutes, else those would be true pommesfrites sehr, sehr, schwartz.
