    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/17/2011   I agree with farmgirlgourmet. You definitely have to cook them longer than suggested. I put 30-40 in my recipe file. Maybe if they were crispy on the ends and soggy in the middle they weren't cut small enough? Just a thought. I used an vadalia onion chop wizzard instead of my mandolin to ensure all the fries were cut 1/4" thickness. I also left the peel on. The whole family said these are the new go to fries in our house.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/16/2011   Made these tonight and would say that you definitely need to cook them longer than 18 to 20. Mine were more like 30-35. Even then some where soggy. The kids enjoyed though.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/14/2011   This recipe is tougher than it looks. I had doubts about how successful it could be and was sadly correct. Fries on the outer edge burned and those in center remained soggy. Too bad!
