    I'll have to try these! If I were to be totally honest, half the reason I eat french fries is for the grease - the greasier the better! (Yeah, I know, very bad...that's why I don't have them very often.)

    It just occurred to me that if you added some vinegar this might taste kind of like the salt and vinegar potato chips -- I love those!!

    Will do! Do you peel the potatoes first or leave the skin on? I bet this recipe would work great for sweet potatoes too!

    Not a sweet potato lover since they all seem to be bathed in something sweet - but done this way sounds like a great idea!!

    Have you ever made sweet potato fries? I make them sometime and they are to die for. Just a little oil and spices and I bake them in the oven. I noticed some of our stores are carrying them now.
