Why did you choose to prepare this dish?

I choose to prepare this dish because I had all the right ingredients to make it and had the recipe. The dish used almost all of my ingredients together and had the perfect amount.

Is there a story about the dish or recipe?

In my opinion my grandpa makes the best fries I have ever tasted. He used to make them to my mother when she was young and made it to me when we visited. My grandpa would always put in effort and time into making them as perfect as they could be to his kids, and my mother loved it. He would always keep his recipe a secret and not tell anyone how to make them, but for this assignment he sent me an individual text about the recipe.

Did you have to make changes to the recipe?

I like my fries a bit salty but not to much. Although my grandpa’s fries are excellent, he would put a little extra salt which was a bit to much for me. The only changes I made was putting less salt on then usual. I could now taste the fresh potatoes more and get a great taste.

How did everything turn out?

Because this was my first time making these fries, I made some mistakes. When I took them out and tasted it, I noticed they were slightly overcooked. Although it was overcooked, it still tasted great and my family was very proud. They loved the fries and want me to cook it more often.

Recipe:
