Mmmm… French Fries
I have to thank my nephew for the idea of making homemade french fries. When we were swimming Saturday, he told me they sometimes do that; just slice up raw potato and cook in hot oil for 9 - 10 minutes.
On the way home Saturday, we stopped at Sunrise Gardens in Plympton and I bought five small to medium potatoes, along with some green beans and summer squash. We had the beans the night before last, along with peas, stuffing and chicken.
Last night we had burgers. Sadie is definitely my daughter; she loves ketchup on hers. Along with them I made some of the best fries I have ever eaten. Just potato cut up and cooked in Crisco in my cast iron frying pan. Five not very big potatoes made all the fries the three of us could eat. Well, Sadie could have eaten more, but she also had leftover peas, beans, chicken, and stuffing.
Looks like we have a new item in our “things we make regularly” collection.
Aren’t they yummy? I love making them! Of course, they probably aren’t the healthiest thing in the wolrd but who cares!

Jay, I just saw a commercial last night that claimed the first veggie kids know is “french fry”.
