Why do we cooks always use language like 1/4 inch when we don't really mean 1/4 inch. It's just really confusing to anyone taking that measurement literally. What you mean is "kinda small". In the video when you say cut into 1/4" planks, you can see what I mean when you have only 3 of them stacked up and it is almost taller than your fist, so those slices are closer to 1/2" or 1/3". Doesn't sound like much but it's a big difference. Take a ruler out and line your slices up to see just how small a 1/4" slice of potato is and you'll see what I mean
I noticed that extra crispy shoestring fries, your profile pic for this video, wasn't on there. Also no recommendations on how to COOK the fries. You'll need a part 2 and 3. Thanks.
Thank you.
Oh wasting the sides of the potato! I was doing it wrong the whole time /s
