Potatoe slices are a good substitution for fries and are just as easy if not easier. One thing I learned about making these is how to cut potatoes. We did all the slicing of the potatoes ahead of time and learned proper knife safety but it even with the extra tips it was still difficult. A thing to note when following this recipe is that you can add extra spices and do not just need to stick to paprika and chili powder. Some of the other groups used seasoning salt and although our group did not I must say it did add a bit more flavour to the fries when I was going around sampling everyones. My group did do a really good a job though, and the outcome was delicious. This recipe also works if you want to make them into a fry shape but from my own personal experience in cutting potatoes I would say that slices are far more easier to cut then fry shaped. In colnclusion, this is an awesome recipe to try and if you are on the run going from event to event this is a perfect recipe for you!
