Fresh homemade curly fries on a week day night just hit different am I right?! I harvested these potatoes from the garden and really wanted to use them in a creative way and these curly fries did not disappoint!
Guys go find that spiralizer that you have tucked away in a drawer from when you were trying to eat low carb, or is that just me? Any who- carbs are life so today we are making these delectable crispy, golden to perfection curly fries right at home. Topped with a little parmesan and parsley- craving some right about now! Dip- well that can be what ever your taste buds are craving BUT let me tell ya, this wanna be chipotle aioli sauce is easy to whip up in minutes and is the perfect dipping side. If you want something bold and smoky with tons of flavor! I say its wanna be because I cheated and used my favorite ready made chipotle sauce and just mixed it with mayo! Shhhhh….
If you don’t own a veggie spiralizer let me tell you its one of the gadgets that is worth having around! It makes the just the right spirals for these curly fries. The thickness is perfect and it beats chopping and slicing potatoes. Know days you can find really inexpensive ones- and just know there is more options than just zucchini noodles. Nothing against zucchini noodles they are delish but today we make fries!
These homemade curly fries are such a crow pleaser my kids kept asking me to make more. Want to make them even more fun? Find some fun colored potatoes! Check out my potato grow guide if you want to learn how to grow your own potatoes.
