Yup, we made homemade french fries. These were baked however, not fried. So I must be honest, I don't remember exactly how we did them. We have a french fry cutter. It's pretty sweet. It's like those apple slicers, but it's a bit square with the blades making lots of little squares. So we used that to cut up the potato. If you cut them by hand, you just want them to be the same size, so they cook evenly. I want to say that we might've brushed them with oil. Maybe. Or tossed them in a bag with oil. Then we sprinkled them with Lawry's. We baked them at a 350 (I think) for maybe 20-30 minutes. We checked on them periodically I'm sure. I wish I remember better! You can find plenty of homemade recipes online that bake versus fry. We washed and scrubbed our tator too, but didn't remove the skins. This can be a preference thing. I heard that the skins have nutrients in them, so it can be good to leave them on. They didn't bother us. Sorry for the horrible recipe! I just had to share it anyway, because I was jazzed we made homemade fries. I'll have to make this a part I of II. Next time I'll remember how I made them and give a better tutorial!
