Preparing French Fries

From the Homestead Fair archive, originally published 2014-11-23.

This weekend, Nov 22 & 23, is fondly called French Fry Weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, we will wash, punch & blanch 1500 pounds of sweet potato fries and 2500 pounds of white potato French fries….That’s 2 tons of fries!!!
