I think I read about doing potatoes this way - someplace a long time ago!! Made them for DH when he got home - a good munchie!!

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.)

 

[Paws]

These sound FANTASTIC!!
I'm thinking about trying these for a quick snack in just a bit...sounds like my kinda snack...quick...salty...and potato....:applause:
Thanks so much for sharing!!!

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!!

 

[mauimagic]

Let me know how you all like these - they really curb my desire my french fries - hope they work for you too!!

 

[Luckybustert]

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

 

[mauimagic]

I leave the skin on - personal preference!!

I would definitely think it would work with Sweet Potatoes. They seem to nuke great 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.

 

[mauimagic]

Sounds good too - don't even know if our stores carry sweet potatoes year round - shall check!!

[mauimagic]

Paws - so glad that you liked them!!

[Paws]

These are so good and easy, my DD keeps asking for them or making them herself...almost every night. They -are- yummy!

The hard thing for me is not to eat them before they have all finished cooking!
