Fries! I love them any way you throw them at me. Straight, curly, crinkle, sweet – doesn’t matter. These days I can’t get enough of the thick-cut oven fries. So when it was the kids turn to choose dinner – Burgers! I knew I’d be making these guys to go on the side. Sometimes I have to wonder if they realize there’s more out there than burgers, tacos and spaghetti. They say hi by the way and are super excited that our fries are on the computer right now. “I ate those!”
You can fancy them up with any spices you have on hand but we usually just go with a bit of salt. Grab the ketchup and watch how fast these disappear!
