my children like to eat french fries. usually i buy frozen french fries from the store and then i fried it. i think it is more economical if i make it by myself. the price of potatos are cheaper in my hometown than the price of frozen french fries. can you share the recipe to make it? should i use special kinds of potato to make french fries?

just buy plain potato types. cut it into strips, cover w/ a little flour then fry. W/o flour is also okay. just fry it directly after cutting :)

Yes fast food french fries are very good but to buy the potatos and hand make them is much cheaper and can be quite delicious also. What I do is I have a chopper, and first I skin the potato and put it on the chopper and put them in water so they don't turn brown and then I take them out and put salt and pepper on them and throw them in the deep fryer. And then they're done and delicious, you can also bake them which is healthier.

Frozen french fries can be more convenient, especially when meal time comes in a rush. If i had to make my own french fries, I would know how to go about it. It can be time consuming, but the results are usually worth the effort you give it.

i just use any spuds and cut them thin and put them in the deep fat fryer.

Yeah I know how to make french fries. Actually I have a secret to make those crispy. Just throw those frozen sticks to a very hot pan full of vegetable oils to make them crispy. If you want a dip to go with those, try mixing catsup and mayonnaise with some black peppers.
