Dressed Fries Idea's

kfrp

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.

Kablamo!

Buzzfeed is your friend for this one.

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.

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.

OMG my mouth is watering

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

Like the sound of this.

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.

Toto Wolfcastle

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.

I love refried beans piled on to chunky chips

Sounds weird but give it a chance.

Pesto mayo, sweet chili mayo and straight pesto and sweet chil .
Looks weird sounds weird tastes amazing.

MrWalsh

Sounds awful but lived on it in college.

Fries with gravy and coleslaw.

Fries with grayy and tuna.

The Hill Billy

Lordy, lordy! I've just read some of those suggestions - & people thought Coddle was 'icky'!!!

Aunt Bessies oven chips covered in Sauted onion and gravy. I'm going to have that tonight along with pork steak.

Chips with homemade jalepeno salsa and a dollop of natural yoghurt?

The Hill Billy

Sarsons malt vinegar & Saxo table salt.

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

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.

MissFlitworth

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.

Yeah i can't stand the donner meat or chicken, it's always rubbery, so i always go for the veg one! Nowhere does veg kebab trays

Osborne

Homemade guacamole fries with jalapeños.

Delicious.

I like beef gravy, I sometimes add in chilli powder or franks hot sauce. Some think its odd but chips are pretty similar to roast potatoes and most would think nothing wrong with having gravy on them.

I like chinese BBQ sauce, there was a good recipe in a long thread here. My local chinese does a large sauce for just a little more, not on the menu. I buy them and stick it in a jar.

Some chippers sell decent vinegar. I have been meaning to make powdered salt in a blender, to cover more evenly.

Most chippers are just using bog standard pittas, while their chips are proper cut chips. It is far easier to eat kebab trays mess wise, as they give you a fork. Some people want a few chips but a full bag is usually too much.

I only eat kebabs at proper kebab places though, and the bread tends to be great. Kebabs from regular chippers tend to be rank whether bread is involved or not.

Right, but the guy you quoted was talking about chippers. I doubt you get kebab trays with in "proper kebab" places, if you can I doubt their chips would be as good. I would rather have chipper chips than a bog standard pita.

Some chippers do a "tasty tray" which is usually bacon & cheese and garlic sauce.

My favourite chips -
With bernaise sauce.
Or chipper vinegar.

I recently had sweet potato wedges in the Woolen Mills in Dublin - served with cottage cheese, scallions and paprika. Really great.

marklazarcovic

slice up some polish sausage,any supermarket these days..the pork one.. slice some spring onion,mushrooms,babycorn,sugarsnaps..throw them in a pan on high and add some smoked paprika, when almost done add a dash or two of reggae reggae sauce ..lob onto your crispy chips ...delish

That's not poutine at all though, it's just fries with bacon, pepper sauce and mozzarella, as nice as it sounds.

Poutine = gravy and curd.
