It's not the fat  that makes fries junky - it's the hydrogenated fat and
some of the other ingredients. But you can either make your own with your
favorite non-hydrogenated oil (corn, olive, safflower, soy - not canola, it
can't take the heat), or buy some healthy premade ones at your local
whole-foods grocery. An alternative would be to buy potato-only frozen
fries and then brush them with oil and bake and/or broil or pan/deep fry.

If you're rich and peanut oil is not a problem, taro chips are great.
