The Winner of the Poll is...


Ketchup! What a surprise! :) The poll was for your favorite dipping sauce for french fries and the runner-up is mayonnaise. Some other sauces that some of you have picked included the following: ranch, 1000 island, aioli, honey mustard, cheese sauce, and ice cream. I also had a fill-in vote for chocolate frosty from Wendy's! :)

Thank you all for participating in the poll! I personally don't like ketchup that much, but I would love to try and make my own. I found this very easy recipe for homemade ketchup and would like to share with you! I might even make this tomorrow...

I Know it's Strange...


If you're visiting my blog, I highly encourage you to vote! It seems like a silly thing to do, but I enjoy posting many fun facts and information about anything about potatoes. :) I went to culinary school, and I still have tons to learn! Thanks again!

The Winner of the Poll is...

Waffle fries! I'm quite surprised by the results, even though I'm also a big fan of them. The poll was for "What's your favorite French fry shape?", with the following choices: skinny fries, steak fries, crinkle-cut fries, curly fries, and waffle fries. I honestly thought that skinny fries would beat out all of them, but it came in at a close second place. Oh well.

Anyway, have you ever wondered how waffle fries are made? You would need a mandolin with a serrated blade, and just slice away! I would like to share with you this video I found on YouTube that demonstrate this special cut (also called Gaufrettes in French).


One last fun tidbit! I found a Facebook Fan page for waffle fries, and it has over 80,000s fans! I think I'm going to mosey over there and check it out...
