Baked Potato Sticks

---

Here's a great way to fix potatoes! kids go crazy for them! i sometimes fix my hubby and i one large potato to share. Great thing is, i only eat 1 or 2 and leave the rest for him; that way i don't have as many fat calories. This recipe is from chef tom. I sometimes use bacon grease rather than the butter. Sooo good!!
