Homemade Fries!

As a child and truthfully only up until recently, fries meant frozen fries. Now don’t get me wrong, now there are some damn good frozen fry options but there is something just a TOUCH healthier and also very satisfying about making them yourself. Not to mention they only take about 15 – 20 minutes and correct me if I’m wrong frozen ones can usually take 20 – 30 minutes to bake. Add a touch of seasoning salt and/or some spicy aioli and you are onto a winner. On the note of spicy aioli head on over to my sweet potato wedges recipe and check out my aioli recipe there. It works great with these fries.

I never knew what kipfler potatoes were until I moved to Brisbane, which is kinda embarrasing being an Irishman and not knowing about a type of potato! Well, for those of you in the same boat here is a little “bio” on them. They are long & narrow potatoes whose skin is is dusty yellow and they have a smooth waxy flesh. From reading up they are apparently not great for frying or for chips but I’ll tell you, and Mrs AnotherFoodBlogger will certainly agree, I have pan-fried them and used them regularly to make fries and they are perfect every time!

So, if you were planning on picking up a few bags of frozen fries for the family at the grocery store this weekend, then why not get a load of kipflers instead. Get the kids to wash them and get them involved in making some delicious homemade fries.
