How to sum them up? <br /><br />Well, they're like matchsticks made out of potatoes and lightly seasoned. And they come in a bag that has a faux wood panel design on it. They're made by Hostess, which I don't think you have in the U.S.<br /><br />A quick check on the U.S. Walmart site pulled up Allens Butterfield: Shoestring Potato Sticks which would be a suitable substitute.<br /><br />As far as the 2 cups of oil go, I like to think it burns off during the 2.5 hours in the oven. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.Brian Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779793839672812019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-32027900273778906282011-10-17T13:10:50.972-07:002011-10-17T13:10:50.972-07:00What's a hickory stick?What's a hickory stick?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-43847008038840801122011-10-17T08:43:56.559-07:002011-10-17T08:43:56.559-07:00Two cups of oil?
