Jesse & Bens Classic Sea Salt Fries
What it is
These are frozen potato fries, cut in a house style and seasoned with sea salt. They are prepared using avocado oil, which has a higher smoke point than many other cooking oils. The fries are designed for easy preparation in a home kitchen, offering a convenient way to enjoy a popular side dish.
How people cook with it
These fries are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be served as a standalone snack or as a side to a variety of main courses.
- Side dish for burgers
- Snack with dipping sauces
- Accompaniment to fried chicken
- Appetizer for gatherings
To prepare, spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. For best results, bake in a preheated oven at a high temperature, turning them halfway through the cooking time. This ensures they become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They can also be prepared in an air fryer, following the appliance's specific instructions for frozen potatoes. Adjust cooking time based on your oven or air fryer for desired crispness.
How it differs from similar foods
The use of avocado oil in their preparation is a notable difference. Avocado oil is known for its neutral flavor and ability to withstand high heat, which can contribute to a cleaner taste and crispier texture compared to fries cooked with oils that have lower smoke points. The house cut style also provides a slightly thicker, more substantial potato piece.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and satisfying side dish or appetizer will find these fries convenient.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, ensure it is resealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store the remaining fries in the freezer. Keeping them in an airtight container or the original bag, well-sealed, will help maintain their quality and prevent ice crystal formation.
