Inside Edition caught wind of the upcoming french fry crisis that is about to take place. There is a potato famine happening which means our french fry supply may be affecting. However, I am here to make sure we survive this ordeal. I had the pleasure of showing Les Trent of Inside Edition a couple of recipes that may help us weather this storm.

We explored avocado friends, baked carrot and turnip fries. We also created some tasty combinations with zucchini and string beans. In the end there were some clear winners. Tune in tonight at 6pm on CBS to see how we did!
