How to Cook Potatoes to Avoid Carcinogen Acrylamide.
French fries, potato chips, baked potatoes: these are all-American staples in our diets. Yet, according to an article by David Gutierrez for NaturalNews.com, the very process of cooking foods with starch can create the carcinogen acrylamide. If you want to avoid this carcinogen, Gutierrez provides these guidelines in his article "Frying Potatoes to Make Chips or French Fries Produces a Potent Chemical Carcinogen Called Acrylamide."

"Potatoes should be stored outside the refrigerator in a cool, dark place. Before frying, they should be sliced, soaked in water for 15-30 minutes, then patted dry. They should be fried at lower temperatures for less time, until they are golden yellow -- not brown."
