Recipe: Homemade French Fries

So I've been trying to eat pretty healthy but I still have cravings for things ... like French fries!  But, I have been experimenting with some homemade French fry recipes and it definitely satisfies my craving!

What You Need:
1-2 potatoes per person
spices (my personal favourites: lemon pepper, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper ... but experiment and choose what you'd like!)
oil

Directions:
Cut the potatoes into very fine lines, like small French fries.  Set them in water for 30 minutes to one hour to soak.  Add a bit of pepper or other spices and mix it around with the potatoes.

Once the potatoes have been soaked, put them into a pan.  Add a little bit of oil.  1/2 tsp per person or potato is the ideal amount!  Add some spices and mix it up.  Keep the fries moving so that they don't stay still and burn!

They are done when the sides are crunchy and almost burned.  If they burn, it's okay, it still tastes fine that way, and then you know for next time!
