Anyone who buys those bags of frozen french fries is just cheating themselves. Especially if you have potatoes in your cupboard. These things are so simple, so delicious, and just look at how beautiful they are! Your frozen potato sticks don’t come close! Grab a russet potato, slice it up, bake it and feel the guilt wash away as you eat these non-deep fried homemade beauties (and then feel guilty as you realize you just ate a ton…oops!). Stay tuned for a much less guilt-free recipe coming in the next day or two using these tasty things! (can you guess what it might be??)

Mine always come out like mush 🙁 What am I doing wrong?
That’s unfortunate! Not sure, what kind of potatoes are you using? Perhaps you need to try drying the potatoes before putting the oil on etc. Some potatoes have a lot of moisture, which could result in mushiness!
