Rumor has it that a French fry board is the new charcuterie board. Nothing will ever top a classic charcuterie board for us, but the French fry board comes pretty close! An entertaining board fit for any occasion, whether it’s an evening at home with family or friends or backyard barbeque. We don’t need a special time to cook up this savory show-stopper in our house!
What makes our board really stand out are the dips. Of course, we have ketchup and mustard, but we also have three delectable cheese and sour cream dips! That’s right, a French fry board filled with flavorful cheesy goodness.
Now, let’s get cooking!
THE FRIES
You always want a variety of French fries on the board as it adds different textures and flavors.
- Sweet potato fries
- Seasoned curly fries
- Regular hand-cut French fries
- Waffle fries
- Plain crinkle French fries
- Tip: After the crinkle fries are cooked, sprinkle them with a seasoning of your choice to give it more flavor. The seasoning must be mixed in with the fries while they are hot.
