Is there a relatively simple and inexpensive method to determine the amount of acrylamide in foods such as French fries and potato chips?

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

Google for "acrylamide assay food" and this pdf from the Thermo Scientific company will come up.  They're a common manufacturer of the consumables needed for these sorts of assays, and they write clear, thorough application notes such as this one.
