I've seen wedges of russet potatoes in the mid-south (quarter fries)
battered and deep fried. A rare treat, and I sure wouldn't make them at
home.

Up north where my parents grew up, they were called quarter fries but
they were roasted in the oven. Rubbed with oil, seasoned with salt (
pepper and roasted in a very hot oven.

I like potato chips when I make a hamburger. I like them *on* an
hamburger! That's really the only time I eat potato chips.
