So this week... since I'm starting to feel much better and plan on actually cooking again (sorry Ry, no more take-out! ;) I think I'll try to stick with Rachel Ray ideas and adapt them into my own.
Tonight, steak fries from the Rachel Ray book. I'm also making burgers.

3 russet potatoes
vegetable oil for cooking
sea salt
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
8 Town House butter crackers
To taste: pepper,
garlic,
oregano
dash of paprika
DIRECTIONS
On medium heat, heat about 1.5 inches of oil in a pan.
After washing/scrubbing potatoes, Slice into about shoestring thickness.
Place on paper towels to dry.
Use hands to mix ground beer, egg, crackers, pepper, garlic, oregano and paprika in a large bowl.
When well combined, form into 2 large burger patties.
Grill for about 5 minutes each side, for 10 minutes total.
Place about half of the potatoes at a time into hot oil and cook partially, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Raise heat to medium-high and allow 2-3 minutes for oil to heat more.
Return potatoes to oil in 2 batches to crisp them to a golden brown, about another 2-3 minutes.
Place potatoes on clean paper towels to drain.
Season with sea salt.
(this would have been the perfect amount for 3 adults.. or 2 adults and 2 kids.. It was a bit much for just my husband and I.. though Ryan did finish his entire burger! wow!)
