Is there anyone who don’t like French fries? No one I guess and if there is anyone, seriously you need help. When served on the table they can’t go unnoticed. When French fries are on the table no one holds back and the plate is devoured in few seconds. There are different shapes and flavours, the regular one the curly one, crinkle-cut fries, waffle fries or cut any shape you like and cook. The best combination is with ketchup or sprinkle your favourite spices on top and enjoy.
This is a kind of the recipe which can definitely jolt your taste buds and will fill you completely. You might have seen this dish with steaks as a side dish. This recipe of the potato is cheesy, creamy, with a buttery texture, will melt in your mouth and once you will try you will definitely ask for more.
It’s one of the easiest dishes to make. You just need some boiled potatoes along with some butter, cream, cheese, salt and pepper. Due to its smooth texture, it looks very appealing to the eyes and to your appetite as well. It can be easily made at home and once made I am sure you will devour the entire bowl in a minute.
If you like potatoes in the baked form then it’s your kind of dish. It is a baked dish full of butter and cheese. Like mashed potatoes, they are served with steaks as a side dish. But you can eat it as it is. We hope that you will definitely like it. You have to slice the potatoes and place them in a baking pan.
It can be a slightly longer process but once made it’s worth it. Prepare a white sauce and top the potatoes while baking. Now top again with cheese of your choice. Bake it now. Before serving garnish with parsley to give it a beautiful look to the final product. The creaminess of the baked potato will definitely calm down your cravings and hunger once served.
These are another form of French fries. The taste and colour both look different. The one thing that makes them different is that they are cooked with the skin on them, which gives them a different taste. They are somehow easier to make as compare to the above dishes. If you are Hungary and do not know what to cook and how to cook, then go for potato wedges.
Just wash them and you don’t need to peel the skin. Cut them vertically and season with flour and spices and fry them. My advice would be if you want to take this dish to another level, then boil the pieces before frying or baking. This will give the potato wedges a crispy finish. Once done enjoy and do forget you dip in your favourite ketchup.
If you are on a diet and still you want to eat fries, then you can try these sweet potato fries without any hesitation. Even if you are bored by your same monotonous diet routine, then you can change it by having some sweet fries. This will be a delicious change to your taste buds. You have to make slices and coat them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix the slices nicely and bake accordingly. Enjoy with any dip of your choice.
