I ran across this pseudo-McDonald's fry recipe a while back, and I've always been curious about trying it.
In the meantime, I've discovered that Ore-Ida "crispy fast-food" style fries are pretty darn close. After an entire childhood and a majority of adulthood with Tater-Tots being the only acceptable oven-baked "fry" style potatoes, these things are really quite eye-opening. At least as eye-opening as oven-baked french fries can be. I didn't expect them to be so good, since all other oven-baked french fries have always been so yukky.
