French Fries Recipe – A survey required kids to identify a few brand logos and what do you think was the brand that most kids identified?
No prices for guessing that it was McDonald. I am sure your kid would also prove that this survey was right, just as my Daughter did.
And If you ask kids on what there favorite food at McDonald is, you will get a unanimous answer – “French Fries”.
French Fries is one of the favorite Recipe of my Daughter. And guess what? She got to know about this recipe from one of her favorite cartoon serial (Oogy the Cockroaches) . Nowadays whenever she watches a cartoon or any advertisement on TV, she would just call me and demand for that. So one day she saw Oogy (one of the characters in the cartoon serial) making and eating French fries and she demanded the same.
So that was the first day when I prepared this recipe. The first time I have tried the simplest method (method 2) mentioned below. The second time I tried the second method and I got the perfect french fries. You can prepare French Fries in whichever method you want, you would get tasty French Fries only.
French Fries is an easy to make recipe and is also good lunch box recipe for the kids.
