If I slice potatoes myself, I like to chop an onion and add to them. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Jan via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 6:58 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Jan <zarf2...@verizon.net> Subject: Re: [CnD] Baked French fries

And in case of French fries, I toss them with melted butter before I bake them. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 9:48 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Marie Rudys <marmusi...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] New to the list and cooking tips Another thought about oven French fries: You don't have to flip them over if you spray the single layer of Cut potatoes with cooking spray before baking. You line the Bottom of the pan with aluminum foil and spray that, too, so that the 2 layers of Cooking spray makes it possible to oven-fry them without turning them over. You can also use frozen pre-cut French fries, and do the same thing. I didn't think of it yesterday. I've been cooking for myself for nearly forty years. And, I highly recommend listening to the Cooking in the Dark podcasts. You can find them two ways: Through the Blind Mice Megamall website or on Libsyn. Download any of those podcasts you want, and put them on a flash drive For future reference. These are for anyone, no matter how much experience You have. Dale always includes little tips in these shows, And I have picked up some tricks from him.

When it is time to turn the fries, take them out of the oven place the second sheet over the pan of fries use pot holdersand turn the pans over put the new pan back in the oven and finish cooking. Just a thought.
