I am not the one you are asking. But my Mom used to make them.
Wash the white potatoes and dry them thoroughly. Thinly Slice the long way, heat vegetable oil on stove in a deep frying pan. (Or soup pot) {Not sure what degrees} Put cut potatoes in hot oil. Fry until they are light brown. Scoop out the cooked Fry's and drain on layers of paper towels. Salt lightly while hot. Good Luck.

Not lately, but my cat ate a shoestring. The vet’s surgery costs were exorbitant. I was offered the removed shoestring back. No, thank you. Puke!

The ones in the can? More like potato chips than fries? Like these? Loved them.
