What you are looking for is about a quarter to half inch slices. We are just going to take it and cut French fries out of it; little batons. They don't have to be perfect. They are French fries after all. If you want to cut wedges, feel free. I think the batons are a better way to cut them because you are going to get a truer French fries.
