No-Fry Fries

I had heard about Gwyneth's fries and I saw this post through the SELF website. So I thought I would try them out. No-Fry Fries!

They were delicious! But I am afraid I used white potatoes so they didn't come out as crispy. I love the crispy ones, it's probably also a result of the fact that I can't cut all the fries small and evenly so they all cook properly. Nevertheless, the family LOVES them!
