They can be made fat free. The beans aren't really fried. When I make them,
I just cook the beans and mash them. I do usually add a little bit of olive
oil to them. Why? Given my 'druthers, my diet is low to no fat and that's
not good. So I try to add a little whenever I can. I also like to add some
chopped onion and bell pepper to help cut the carbs a little bit.
