Comments
These are a standard side dish now in my house, especially on burger night. The kids even love these fries and if you know my kids, you know they're picky! I realize that the above recipe does not call out measurements for the seasonings. My rule of thumb is more garlic salt than Mrs. Dash. We learned the hard way that Mrs. Dash is a pretty strong competitor in the flavor category. Also, I always make at least a double batch, but then again I'm feeding five. Oh, I always cut my potatoes in wedges (not sure why, but I do).
