Jill I like fries cut into thick wedges. I just looked at a RR site, and for steak fries she wants them cut into 'thin' strips. Although she does them in the oven... http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/r...ipe/index.html { Ingredients 5 russet potatoes, cut into thin wedges 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon dried thyme, eyeball it 1 teaspoon dried oregano, eyeball it 1 tablespoon steak seasoning blend, such as Montreal Steak Seasoning or, salt and pepper } |

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 ![]() Jill |

I might just make Saratoga chips. But when I've made fries at home, I set the slicer to about a quarter inch, then I cut by eye to about a 1/4-3/8. |

Just curious ![]() thick cut steak fries quarter fries shoestring fries coin fries waffle fries Any others? What are quarter fries - wedges? Those are 8'ths or 6'ths. I have never seen a wedge with a right angle. Quarter fries are quarted baking potatoes. Cut lengthwise and brushed with olive oil and seasoned, then baked. They're crispy on the ouside and nicely tender on the inside. My potato wedges (with Romano cheese): http://www.flickr.com/photos/7275891...7519/lightbox/ -sw Nice, but the fries should have been hot enough to melt the cheese ![]() Jill |
