Baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, hash browns, home fries, potatoes au gratin, twice baked potatoes; there are thousands of ways to make potatoes. I love starches and most of all potatoes but french fries are my go to. In college, I would go to the McDonald's across the street to get dollar fries every time I had a craving. Now, it seems like such a waste of money and time when you compare the amount of time it takes to drive and the time it takes to cook fries. I prefer to bake fries because time can be spent doing something else instead of looking over a pot of oil and double frying; plus, there is less oil used and absorbed. It took me many tries to finally get crispy, tasty fries. Enjoy!
