Who doesn’t keep a bag or two (or more) of frozen fries on hand at all times? Yep, easiest side dish in the world, ready in no time. But no reason for them to be boring. That’s where these quick fix herbed fries come in handy. Same fries, just amped up a bit with a few always-on-hand seasonings. Nothing fru-fru, nothing fancy. Just a nice different flavor.
For The Best Results, Deep-Fry Them!
I actually prefer to deep fry my frozen fries, when I can. They definitely crisp up better when fried. I can still make quick fix herbed fries. Instead of seasoning the fries before cooking, just toss them in the spice mixture right out of the deep fryer.
When it’s just the two of us, I use my Fry Daddy fryer for these fries and other small-batch dishes.
The Presto Fry Daddy is perfect for making smaller batches of food. It only uses a few cups of oil and comes to temperature quickly. Clean-up is easy too!
