Low-Carb French Fries?

The secret is cauliflower. These fries only have 8 grams of carbs compared to 20 with regular fries. My new book has a recipe for cauliflower mashed potatoes, which taste remarkably similar to real mashed potatoes. This is a great meal for protein nutritional types like myself. However, please be aware that anything that is fried, even cauliflower, has the issue of trans fat and the potent cancer-causing substance acrylamide.
