Yesterday evening, making ranch fries was a spur of the moment decision. I’d already had dinner prepared for my daughter. She had eaten a few hours before; however, since I know she loves homemade fries, I prepared a quick snack for her.
I must say that it’s a shame that the only picture that I took was before I slid these homemade fries into the oven. My daughter returned for seconds and then thirds and so when I realized that I should take a picture, there were only a few fries left. In hindsight, I still should have taken the picture since it would have shown how much of a hit they were!
I will say they were golden brown, and the seasonings I had added to them made them very tasty. They had the proper crispness that many of us associate with fries, but without the added calories since they were baked instead of fried. I never fry them, if I’ve prepared them, they’re always baked.
I just read your comment and HAD to swing by! So happy you took a pic of the fries! They sound great!

@Jennifer, They were! I’ll make sweet potato fries sometime soon. Those are my favorite. 🙂

My girl loves potatoes – she prefers these chunky wedges a lot more to those skinny string ones and she likes to cook them from scratch using fresh potatoes, and is not fond of those those pre-cut frozen fries in plastic packs that we can get around here. Of course, fresh potatoes are not all that cheap here in the tropics, not like where you are.

@suituapui, My daughter is the same way. She inhales fries. Yes, it does taste different than the processed fries that are quite common, even here where potatoes are plentiful. Yes… we have the reverse problem, some tropical fruits and exotic vegetables can be a challenge to get here in the USA or the price you pay is insane!
