Of course the best fries are those made from scratch. But really, who has time to peel, cut, and fry those things? This evening I waited until the very last minute to make dinner, partly due to laziness, and partly due to not knowing what to make.

What saved the meal were these thing I had stowed away in the freezer.

*GASP*

Yes, frozen fries. But not ANY frozen fries. I happened to buy these at Costco (so, imagine a big gigantic bag), and they're actually pretty healthy as far as frozen fries go. Not much in the ingredients, which is a good thing. Of course, they taste best deep fried, and I realized it's MUCH faster to do that (3-5 minutes!) than it is to bake them (25 minutes!).

Even though I had already eaten dinner, there I was making these french fries on the back burner of the stove, with the paper towel-lined collander resting on the front burner, right under my nose. So I kept munching on these things, and when my husband came home, he started doing the same. They're so good, especially while piping hot, with just a sprinkle of salt.

So go to www.alexiafoods.com, enter your zip code and find a store near you that carries their products. They might be a little more expensive than the run of the mill Ore Ida frozen fries, but they're SO GOOD.
