The Perfect French Fries
It’s hard to make really great, perfectly crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside french fries at home. But there’s one trick to making perfect fries aside from the cooking method that plays a HUGE part in getting them right…the potato! This recipe combines a classic double fry method with the right potato to give you the absolute best, most classic, french fries you can make at home.

I am a calzone covert. No, they’re not pizza and they’re not really supposed to be. Find out why I love them so much with these two recipes for pepperoni calzone and four cheese calzone. Both are well stuffed with a well-browned crust that’s just as good as the gooey melty inside.
