I love fries. Yes, even if I am a dietitian, I eat everything – I don’t have any forbidden food. Sometimes, I feel like eating fries from a restaurant, sometimes I want them homemade. So here’s my favorite homemade seasoned fries recipe. Easy to make and delicious, they’re perfect for a weekday, but they also make the perfect side for a weekend dinner.
