Who doesn’t love French Fries? I have not met a single person in my whole life who doesn’t love French Fries.
So in support for the food that everyone loves, we’re making them not one, but two ways. First, we’re going to fry up a batch. And second, for those looking for a healthier option, we’re baking some up too. Both varieties are cooked twice so that you get that soft, meaty center and a crispy outside. We finish off our French Fries with our homemade seasoned salt.
WARNING: these French Fries are addictive! Enjoy!
