Better Than The Restaurant Hand-cut Fries
Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, hand-cut fries.
It took me a long time to figure out how to make the perfect hand cut homemade fries. Texture, color, and crisp are essential to a good fry. These fries are not perfect but they are better than my favorite restaurant. It turns out, its all about the method.
