Cooking Notes:
Russet potatoes will give you longer, more traditional shaped fries. However, you can also use other varieties of potatoes, if you prefer.
You can use olive oil instead of margarine.
I add salt to taste after they are cooked.
I sometimes do just a couple of potatoes for a quick snack for the kids. In this case I use just a couple of tablespoons of bread crumbs and parmesan with a few sprinkles of spices. Very easy!
