Do not crowd fries -Sprinkle with salt -Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes -Remove cookie sheets and flip fries over and return to oven, exchange cookie sheet position in oven -Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until fries are golden and crispy.

Cool and set aside. -In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients, cooked bourbon and raw bourbon. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate -Place into a container, cover, label, date, and refrigerate..
