These aren't really like French fries because the zucchini really can't become crispy in the oven, but they're still delicious!

BUFFALO FRENCH FRIES
This recipe is based on one from Paula Deen on the Food Network website. These fries were spicy, but nowhere nearly as hot as I thought they would be. Very, very good served with Ranch dip made with extra garlic. I've made this using both french fries and Tater Tots. Both were outstanding! Beware, this recipe is NOT low fat!

BUFFALO FRIES
This is my version of the Buffalo Fries served at the Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs, CO. They are sooo good! This recipe can easily be doubled or scaled down for one. I like my fries drenched in the hot sauce and blue cheese, by all means don't add as much as is called for if you prefer. Enjoy!
