  1. Very very good =] Thank you for sharing!! May I ask why we were to soak the potatoes? I suppose that's what allowed these to be successfully wonderful compared to what I've made before =]
     
  2. These really smelled delicious cooking, and hit the spot otherwise :) I'm also happy to report that the second grocery store I went to had malt vinegar. I don't know why the first one didn't, it's not that unusual! I had this with a veggie burger on the side. Completely guiltless burger and fries, with a side of green veggies. We were so virtuous last night, heh heh. P.S. I did add extra salt, and they did not stick to a non-stick pan that was sprayed briefly with olive oil. They ended up crispy outside and soft inside.
     
  3. The malt vinegar really tops it off! Takes me back to eatting french fries as a kid on the beach in Canada. Fantastic!
     
  4. We just love the malt vinegar on these fries! I had mine with a nice juicy burger and it was such a treat with these fries to munch out on!
     
  5. These were very good. I followed the recipe as written. I like how easy they are - no messing with them or trying to turn them over during cooking. We will make these often, thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I’m a former interior designer and landscape designer. At the moment I get to enjoy being at home and working only when I want to. I like rollerblading, hiking, backpacking and trips to the ocean. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and moved to the Northwest when I was thirty, over twenty years ago. I’m afraid they’ll have to bury me here in WA. This is God’s country and I’m never leaving. I have a smallish collection of cookbooks, preferring to use the library and a copy machine. Among my favorites though, are: Recipes 1-2-3, by Rozanne Gold, a collection of recipes containing no more than 3 ingredients (excepting water, salt and pepper); A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Mary and Vincent Price, recipes collected from friends and chefs of great restaurants around the world; The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, by Nancy Harmon Jenkins, about a collection of cuisines I’m convinced are the healthiest in the world and The Low-Calorie Gourmet, by Pierre Franey. Currently my passions are our dogs, the garden, cooking, the natural world and of course, Dh. I can now add Zaar to that list of passions (translate: addiction). We have three dogs, two rescued and one adopted. They are Sugarpea, a Golden Retriever, Chickpea, a Llasa Apso and Sweetpea, a Shih Tzu; small, medium and large. We’re quite a sight out on the trail. One of the things I am most fond of about living here is the ability to vegetable garden year ‘round.
