Why not put the potato in the sandwich and accent with brushetta?
Because I haven’t had money to buy groceries for over a week and I’m cooking with what I got and not what I want?
No worries, partner, nextime, nextime
I like fries but I don’t eat them daily and I don’t like the idea of throwing away so much oil for one meal.
Do you have any suggestions?
Those were frozen ones baked in the hot oven from making the bread.
I bake fresh cut fries to avoid oil waste. They might not be as crispy as you want on all four sides. You can mix in a third of a cup of corn starch with the seasoning and oil to add some crispness.

everything red, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, etc salt
- pre-heat oven to 425
- cut potato into fries of desired thickness
- in some large container mix everything making sure to get oil and spices more or less evenly distributed on potatoes
- space fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so that they are close but do not touch
- pop in oven
- Bake for 25 minutes, the thicker the fries the longer the cooking time.
Air fryer. Haven’t once added any oil to fried foods I’m making in there and they come out better than actually frying them.
