Crispy Cajun Fries

These crispy Cajun fries get their crunchiness from a combination of corn flour and cornmeal. They’re something I’d never experienced before. They’re different, quite different, than regular ole deep fried fries. They have much more flavor, and a totally different texture. The outside is crunchy, the inside is creamy. I could not stop eating them, that’s for sure, and they made for the perfect side for my fried Cajun shrimp.

Crispy Cajun Fries

Thinner Is Crispier

I like to cut my potatoes thin when I make these crispy Cajun fries. I reserve thicker cuts for baking or grilling. For deep frying I want them thin and all the same size so they come out cooked evenly and perfectly crunchy. I keep my knife super sharp for dishes like this, and my fries always come out great (not to brag… but I just did).

I use my lil ole Fry Daddy deep fryer for this fries when it’s just the two of us. Its perfect for small batches. It fries well and uses less oil than a big fryer. If I need to I can fry in batches. Fries don’t take long so I don’t worry about them getting cold in between batches.

I get out my big deep fryer when it’s time to fry a large batch of food. It comes to temperature quickly and it maintains that temperature perfectly. It has a built-in oil filter and storage unit so I can re-use the oil several times.

Quick Fix Asian Fries

Since I was grilling up a few Asian pork burgers for dinner, I needed some fries to go with them. Something with a bit of Asian zing to it. So, I grabbed a bag of frozen fries out of the freezer, baked them up, and tossed them with a few Asian ingredients. In no time, my quick fix Asian fries were on the table, ready to be devoured.

Quick Fix Asian Fries

Spicy, Yummy Fries! At Last!

These quick fix Asian fries do have a bit of a spicy kick to them. That’s probably why we loved them so much. Get your fries good and crunchy. If they sit for long in the sauce they might get a bit soggy. They really won’t last long so it’s not much of a worry.

Texas Fries

There’s no reason for frozen fries to be boring, especially when it doesn’t take much to make them really fantastic. Add a little cheese. A little bacon. A little heat, of course. And a sauce. In no time you’ll be chowing down on delicious fries like these Texas fries. And, in no time, they will be gone.

Texas Fries

Wait… Ranch On Fries?

Hidden Valley has a big variety of Ranch dressings available, so if ‘regular’ Ranch is a little too ‘regular’ for you, try something like Sriracha or Fiesta Ranch instead. Either is great on Texas fries. You don’t have to settle for the ‘usual’ ketchup. Trust me on this. Ranch is better.

Note: My wife disagrees with me on the above statement. She is a certified ketchup-aholic. I personally think it has a place. Maybe on burgers. But not on my fries. Rarely, at best. But you know what they say, opposites attract. I just look at her funny, with one eyebrow askew, when she squeezes ketchup onto these fries…

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff. It only takes a minute to do and it makes a HUGE difference in how your dishes come out. Creamier. Smoother. And oh so much gooier!

Poutine

My wife and I recently grabbed lunch at one of my favorite Indianapolis food trucks, Scratch Truck. For a side, we opted for the poutine, a first for both of us. I’ve seen poutine hundreds of times on TV food shows, but never had the opportunity to try it until then, and boy, did we ever absolutely love it. French fried potatoes, topped with cheese curds (oh my!) and gravy. Really, what could be better? Poutine always looked decadent on TV. It’s even more decadent in person!

Poutine

Drowning In Deliciousness

The gravy is the real start of this dish. Though let’s face it, cheese curds are pretty much wondrous on their own. After quite a bit of research, I settled on a gravy that is a mix of beef and chicken gravies. It’s crazy smooth and packed with flavor. The gravy wasn’t just great, it was fantastic. It would also be stellar on a chicken-fried steak. So you know what that means. Yep, I’ll be making chicken-fried steak soon.

If you don’t have cheese curds where you live, you can substitute block (not shredded) mozzarella. Just tear or chop it into small pieces.

Ingredients
  

For the poutine

  • 2 pounds French fries deep-fried and drained (if frozen, cooked per package instructions)
  • 1 cup cheese curds or more
  • garnishes optional. I used sliced green onions, but chopped parsley, fresh sage, thyme, etc are also great.

For the gravy

Instructions
 

For the poutine

  • Layer fries on a serving platter.
  • Sprinkle fries with the curds (you may have to separate the curds first).
  • Add lots of gravy and garnish as desired.

For the gravy

  • Dissolve the cornstarch in the water in a small bowl or glass.
  • Melt the butter in a large sauce pan.
  • Whisk in the flour and continue cooking, whisking often, for 5 minutes or until the flour has turned golden brown.
  • Add the garlic, stir and cook another 30 seconds.
  • Whisk in the beef and chicken broths (careful when first starting to add the broths as the mixture will steam a bit. Keep your hands and face back.)
  • Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue simmering, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes or until the gravy is thickened.
  • Add pepper to taste and stir and serve.

Notes

Best served immediately.

Italian Herb Fries on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

We love French fries. But we don’t like heating up the house on a hot day just to enjoy some fries. That’s where my Char-Broil Big Easy comes in. I can cook (reheat, technically) frozen fries in it just like I would indoors. I like to kick-up my fries, and these Italian herb fries on the Char-Broil Big Easy are definitely kicked-up. A little butter and a few tasty herbs and it’s time to devour some mighty tasty fries!

A Bunk Bed Makes For More Great Cooking

To make these Italian herb fries on the Char-Broil Big Easy I used a bunk bed basket. It lets me double or even triple the amount of cooking space I have. I originally used a similar basket that Char-Broil has since discontinued. The bunk bed is at least as good as it was if not better!

Instructions
 

  • Fire up your Big Easy.
  • Add the fries to the cooking rack, or as I do, place them in 9" non-stick pie pans.
  • Place into the Big Easy and cook until golden brown, 20-30 minutes. Fries towards the bottom of the rack might get done sooner, so start checking them after 20 minutes.
  • Pour the fries into a large bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
  • Stir in the spices.
  • Pour butter mixture over the fries and toss to coat. Note: It's completely optional, but you can also return the fries to the Big Easy, after coating them, for about 5 minutes to get a little extra crunch on them and kind of 'set' the spices and butter.
  • Serve.

Notes

You’ll need a Big Easy cooking rack or a Bunk Bed basket to cook these fries.

Waffled Fries

You could’ve pushed me over with a feather. I thought that no way could these waffled fries be great. Potato flakes aren’t the first thing that come to mind when I think about making fries at home. To be honest, I don’t ever think of potato flakes. Well, I didn’t. Now I do.

Well, I was wrong. These little potato bites are highly addicting, and very… potato-y. And, there’s no deep frying involved. Clean up is a breeze. These are the fries of dreams. And they look way cool too!

Waffled Fries

Ready In No Time

It takes about 3 minutes to make these waffled fries. Our little waffle iron can only make 4 at a time, so I kept them warm in the oven’s warming drawer while I made the rest of the batch.

For a little twist on the usual fries, add a pinch of Cajun seasoning to the batter. Or freshly ground black pepper. Whatever suits your fancy.

  • Heat your waffle iron to high. Spray with non-stick spray.

  • Working in batches, form a tablespoon of batter into a small ball and place onto the waffle iron. Add as many as you can without crowding them. Close the waffle iron lid and cook 3 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

These fries can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven.

Five Guys Fries (Copycat Recipe)

Who doesn’t love a batch of hot, crunchy, salty tasty fries? Not the ones that have been sitting under a heat lamp for the better part of a day. And not the kind that are deep-fried just once, only to be sorta crunchy! No! We want fries hot out of the fryer, the ones that have been twice-fried. The super-crunchy ones! Perfectly delicious. Like this copycat recipe for Five Guys fries!

These are the fries I dream about. Oh sure, I like big ole wedge fries. And those crinkly ones too. But my love is the thin ones. Cooked perfectly. Each and every one. Not a bad fry in the basket to be found. That’s true love right there, and fry perfection!

Five Guys Fries (Copycat Recipe)

The Keys To Success

I made sure that all of my fries were the same size so that I got nice consistent cooking. I like mine thin. And I don’t peel the potatoes either. You can if you want. You also need to be sure that the fries cool completely between the first and second frying. Then you’ll end up with a crazy-good copycat recipe of Five Guys fries (that go perfectly with my copycat White Castle burgers!).

Fry, Baby!

I love deep-fried wings. But it’s usually just me I’m cooking for. So there’s no reason for me to drag out my big deep-fryer that could easily cook for a crowd. No, this calls for my Fry Daddy. Perfect for one-to-four people’s-worth of wings. And it doesn’t use a lot of oil, that’s a major plus. It gets to temperature quickly and maintains it even when I add cold wings. It’s priced right too and lasts forever!

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!

French Fry Dipping Sauce

My wife’s a ketchup-on-her-fries kind of gal. And I usually am too, except I am always looking for something a little different. This super simple French fry dipping sauce uses ingredients I always have on hand. Although it tastes a bit like ketchup, it brings a nice little creamy spicy flavor. Perfect for dipping.

French Fry Dipping Sauce

Better Than Ketchup. Really.

If you don’t have (or like! *gasp*) Sriracha on hand, your favorite hot sauce will work just fine instead. You can also use this French fry dipping sauce on much more than ‘just’ fries. It’s great for dipping homemade onion rings (try my onion strips too!). And homemade chicken nuggets.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Steakhouse Fries

These are the best baked steakhouse fries ever. The seasoning is spot-on fantastic. I could’ve eaten these all day. They are simple to make and are not deep-fried. Winner.

Don’t skimp on the cook time. Check on them after 45 minutes. If you cut your fries super thin they might be done a bit sooner. But really, steakhouse fries are meant to be a bit thick. Besides, they’re going next to a big steak, right?

Steakhouse Fries

Don’t Serve ‘Em Soggy

Make sure you keep the steakhouse fries in the oven until they start to crisp. A soggy fry will ruin the moment every time! Cutting each wedge into the same size will help ensure that they all cook up at the same time. You don’t want any of them to be less than nice and crunchy.
