I like quarter fries. Those RR mentioned aren't exactly "thin". Quartered
baking potatoes rubbed with olive oil and sprinkled with dried thyme and
oregano and a little seasoned salt, roasted like baked potatoes, are pretty
terrific. I used to eat at a place that battered and fried them. But
baking is just as good. I also bake skinny fries
