Description
There's a pub we go to that makes their own french fries, and instead of throwing out the skins, they fry them up and bake them with toppings in a pizza pan. They bring them sizzling to your table in the pizza pan with sour cream for dipping. Dare i say that they are better than the french fries? Not a low calorie item but so good. This is my attempt to duplicate them.
