French Fries - wow that brings back memories. I think one of the first cookbooks I ever opened - back when I was probably a pre-teen - had a potato prepared that way, and it looked so good and I tried it immediately and I don't remember if it even worked out but I believe it was the beginning of my love of food and cooking experimentation. Yes that pic and the one in my head which was a little more browned, crispy-edged and flaked with salt and pepper are the reason I just had to go for the run on sentence. YA!
