Mushroom Fries

I keep seeing recipes for portabello mushroom fries in magazines.  I love fried mushrooms, so I decided to give "mushroom fries" a try.  I found a great recipe on the Food Network website. I served them as an appetizer/late afternoon snack.  My son and my husband both loved them.  We served them with ranch dressing to help cut some of the heat from the crushed red pepper.  I don't know if these will replace french fries, but they are a really easy way to make fried mushrooms from scratch.  I didn't use my deep fryer for this.  I was already planning on pan frying something for our dinner, so I used my cast iron skillet and turned the mushrooms over after 4 minutes.
