These fries are a perfect side dish for all things sandwich and steak (or just because you want some fries...and who doesn't?)

I paired these with my Fried Chicken Sandwich and dipped them in some “fancy” ketchup (which is just a little Worcestershire and hot sauce added to ketchup). What do you like to dip your fries in?

To make them a little bit healthier I chose to bake these instead of fry them and they are just as tasty!

No matter what you pair the fries with, they make a tasty side! But, if you're looking for a good Fried Chicken Sandwich to have with your fries, you can find our recipe here. Check out our other great recipes while you're there too.

  The milk helps give a creamy flavor and texture.

  Maybe it makes them softer/moister after cooked in the oven
