Just because I wanted to make homemade french fries on Friday of last week, all my energy went into their simple creation and their outstanding result...and that was the totality of dinner. Well, let’s not overlook the exceptionally pleasing batch of homemade ketchup I also threw together to go with ‘em. French fries used to be a standard item, especially when I’d grill steaks, but back then I was almost always depending on the frozen bag from the grocery store. Not last Friday, man! I hand-sliced those potato sticks, I boiled ‘em in salted and vinegar’d water, and then I double-fried them that evening before serving them fresh and hot. They were excellent. The large ramekins of that homemade ketchup were abundant in their condimentary offering and the whole evening felt like a luxurious fast food indulgence.
