It's all in the seasoning. Gun oil rocks!

Well, I always thought that chicken-fried steak is our state spice - and you can't make that without flour, so technically, we're in agreement.

This is all very well and good, but this will only appeal to the Wonketariat if she then melts cedar cheese all over the frites.

Thank you so much for this quality recipe. You have everything the way I was taught. Soak. Dry. Fry twice. Peanut oil. No truffles allowed in the neighborhood.

Many people do not realize fries can be reheated in a convection oven, and they snap ack crispy.

One more thing, if you are frying fish or chicken dip the fries in batter after the first fry, and before the second fry. You then have Cajun Fries.

The main thing I want to thank you for is reminding all true Patriots that these a FRENCH FRIES (pomme frites), not Chips, not Freedom Fries, and not American Fries.

For a minute I thought you were going to bow to Americans for some reason-- I almost got scared.
