Wow who knew that Julliene fries had their own day? I can think of so many ways to eat these yummy fried potatoes...chili fries, cheese fries and then of course chili cheese fries. Mmmm so yummy and salty, such a great treat.
My only issue is all the fat and grease that accompany them, but hey it's the national day for Julliene fries so I suppose that I can splurge just for the day!

1/2" jelly-roll pans with nonstick cooking spray. In one pan, carefully
