better than McDonald’s fries

I’ve been having so much fun with my vegetable cutters, I thought I’d try them on potatoes. They worked like a charm, so I also tried using some small bear and bunny cutters (a bit more challenging, as they were plastic). Then I preheated the oven to 450 degrees, sprayed a them (and the baking sheet) with some Pam, and then sprinkled the potatoes with the magic ingredient:

I cooked them for about 20 minutes, and then my fishees and I enjoyed fresh, hot, homemade spicy chip-fries:

Both of my kids snarfed them down. In fact, I had to give them to twofish one at a time or else she’d shove them all in at once! And, lest you think I was a tater-waster, bluefish and I enjoyed the “crusts”:

There are so many combinations you can make with these cutters. I have both “A” and “B” cutters so I can do big and little shapes of each (pictured below). The big cutters work on bananas like a charm – you hardly lose any banana in the shaping. I use Trader Joe’s dried fruit bars for the center flower (small flower cutter) and their honey roasted peanuts (half of one) for the very center. It’s like a peanut butter and banana and jelly sandwich! Without the bread, of course. If you (or your bitty one) is allergic to peanuts, you can use a candy button (or just about anything) for the center piece.
