    Hi Everyone

    I love dressed fries as in home-made taco fries, curry fries, cheese & garlic fries etc :)

    I'm looking for some new ideas that I will make later to go with home-made chicken burgers and oreo milkshakes.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Sweet potato taco fries.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of an advocate for the sweet potato

    Very delicious but I'm after something new, to live life on the wild side.

    How about "Patat(je) Oorlog"? It's a Dutch thing found commonly in Dutch chippers which consists of chips (obviously!) generously covered in mayonnaise, saté sauce and chopped raw onions.

    There was a page on buzzfeed last week with must try toppings. Sweet potato and sour cream. Gravy and cheese is quite good too.

    I miss this place from Melbourne

    An extremely cheesey cheese sauce on top of fries and then under a hot grill or into the oven to blister and brown the sauce a little. Topped with a dollop of sour cream and sliced spring onions.

    What about greek style? Oregano (chile powder if you like it) and feta cheese topping.

    Curry coleslaw chips. Probably the most perfect junk food, after potato waffles and tinned spaghetti.

    Is there any that don't involve cheese though as delicious as it is?

    My normal fries I make are usually bacon/cheese, cheese/garlic, taco fries so they all have cheese.

    Taco Taco in Dublin (new restaurant) does them with smokey bacon, black pepper sauce and mozzarella. More cheese, I know, but pepper sauce is a bit different!

    I think cheese features a lot because we're all just pulling ideas from our imagination rather than knowing any particular recipes, also it melts and coats the fries. Pepper sauce sounds great! Maybe think of sauces you like and whether they'd be good on fries? Alun's satay, raw onion & mayo is cheese free either.

    Other toppings could be salsa of some description (a cooked one rather than a chopped pico de gallo type one) with guacamole. Or something like these food network ones with roast green chilis, coriander & garlic dressing.

    Actually - I know this is cheese based but the blackened tomato/onion/green chili/ chicken & cheese sauce for this spaghetti recipe is unbelievably good and would be excellent on fries.

    Sounds awful but lived on it in college.

    Fries with gravy and coleslaw.

    Fries with grayy and tuna.

    Hmmm never tried this, but imagine peppercorn sauce with chips? A lovely thick creamy peppercorn sauce, the kind you get with a steak, but just poured over big chunky salty homemade chips instead.

    (And maybe peas mixed in too. Ah shure may as well throw in a steak while you're at it, as well.)

    God I'm so hungry right now.

    But yeah, chips with peppercorn sauce ... it could work!

    One thing i love doing is ordering a veg kebab and chips from the chipper, i put the chips on a plate and dump the contents of the kebab all over it, it's amazing! So that would involve mayo, chilli sauce, onion and chopped cabbage, like a bag of coleslaw mix you get in the shops, all mixed up, yummy :D

    Local chippers do Kebab Trays. Chips cover with the contents of a kebab, chicken or doner, makes sense really as I always end up in a mess eating a Kebab anyway, far more civilised to eat it from a tray over chips.

    Have to say the buzzfeed link earlier really made my mouth water.

    The kebab tray from my local kebab place a couple of moves back was a thing of absolutely beauty. They sliced off the kebab meat and let it go really, really crispy on a hot grill before adding it to the chips. Oh that was a happy place.

    But then you miss out on the delicious bread, one of the best things about a good kebab.
