I love the spicy Always Crisp fries. Walmart sells them.

You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they are going

cut potatos into strips to look like fries, spice, heat about 3 inchs of oil in a deep frying pan until it sizzles, fry until crisp.

or cut potatos into strips, coat with oil and spices and bake until crisp

sounds like it tastes good, but sometimes not worth the bother.

I really like mccain golden crisp french fried. I never eat fried cuz they arent healthy, but my baby loves them. I even think they are baked, not fried and no hyd. oils

If you have a major supermarke tnear you like C-Town or if you're near Glatt mart in Flatbush, they have the Krasdale brand sometimes. It has as OU and it's a supermarket brand, so it costs less . They are actually very good, especially the crinkle cut ones. I put them in the oven and they get really crip, my kids love it.Also , from Oreida Oven chips, YUMMY!! Only downside is not too much comes ina bag so if you're more than a family of four, you'll need about 2 bags, 'cause they go fast! And at 3.99 a bag it's not cheap

J&J uses non-hydrogenated oil but it has preservatives and dextrose (sugar) and baked, are not that great.

When posters say they use frozen french fries does that mean you are frying them or baking them (makes a big difference in taste!)?

I bake them in 425 oven in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
