French Fries

Don't think that just because they say "fry" in the name that French fries have to be cooked in a vat of oil. You can make tasty, crispy fries with nothing more than a sharp knife and an oven. Cutting fast-food style thin fries can be accomplished with a special cutter such as a mandoline, but you can use a good knife to cut wedges, thin strips, or any shape you want.
