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...

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

such, I actually need to get some fats into my diet. It be cold here

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.

Coin - for oven fries. I never deep fry.

I don't deep fry either. At Publix I buy the store brand "restaurant style"
shoestring fries They bake up nice and crispy.

How long how hot?

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):

Nice, but the fries should have been hot enough to melt the cheese

Ripple Cut, chunks... of course I'd never bother to french fry two
measly spuds... before heating oil gotta be two pounds minimum.

Roughly, yes. Hot oven, 45 minutes to an hour for quartered baking potato
fries.
