Surprisingly, as much as I lovefrozen nuggetsandtater tots, I rarely buy frozen fries for my family.

First, I set my sight on fries that are readily available at big-box grocery stores.
We made them in small batches and according to package instructions.
My taste testers included my two kids and my partner.

They were crispy and well seasoned on the outside and moist and fluffy inside.
My 11-year-old didnt say much during the entire taste test because she was busy enjoying these fries.
And my 8-year-old exclaimed, Now thats a French fry!
