- Are fry boards the next big thing?
Well according to the internet,
goodbye cheese board,
and hello fry board.
Now don't get me wrong
I have never met a french fry that I don't like.
But I am a little skeptical
on this new trend.
So the idea is a big platter
with a variety of different french fries
and dipping sauces.
First and foremost,
what I love about this idea
is that you really don't have to cook anything
or use your culinary expertise.
I love that there's going to be a variety
of dipping sauces because we all know I'm a dipper.
I love dips and I love to mix it up.
So I think that's fun.
My areas of concern are how are you gonna keep this hot?
Nobody likes cold fries.
Either way, it looks cool,
and I just thought we should give it a try.
I'm gonna do a waffle fry.
I'm gonna fill up half the tray.
When you mix the varieties on the pan,
you wanna choose the ones that cook about the same time.
I'm putting tater tots on this fry board
even though it's not really a french fry,
but it's definitely in the same category.
Comment below if you disagree.
You definitely need everything on a single layer.
Nobody wants steamy fries.
I'm liking this spicy, Chipotle sweet potato fry.
Plus the sweet potato fries add color.
All right so that's a straight fry.
Maybe I'll do the crinkle kind of plain fry.
I forgot to look at the time.
Boom, same time.
All right I'm gonna go with these oven fries
just because this is a different shape.
Feel free to make your own fries homemade,
but I don't think that is the point of this board.
All right and then I'm gonna do another straight fry.
I'm liking these crispy rosemary fries.
Prep is super easy.
Now I'm going to cook these off
and go gather some stuff for my sauces.
The fries are almost done,
and I have my selection
of five different sauces.
I'm just going classic ketchup.
And I've got a mustard.
I just combined three different mustards
that I keep in my fridge,
a whole grain, a Dijon and a yellow mustard.
Put a little bit of honey in there.
And that'll be a mustard dip for the camera boy.
Sir acha mayo because
mayo and fries,
and then spicy mayo is even better.
I really didn't even think about
how pretty all these colors are looking together.
I'm kind of nailing it.
All right then I've got a barbecue sauce
because I like dipping fries in barbecue sauce sometimes.
And I thought I'd kick this up
with a little garlic chile paste.
They'll think you're so gourmet
when you do stuff like this.
I'm not gonna put this one next to the ketchup
because it kind of looks alike
so I'm gonna put it over here.
And then finally ranch because people like ranch.
I mixed a little ranch dressing
with some sour cream.
And then I'm stirring in some fresh chives
so that it looks like I made this homemade.
That'll be good with those roasted potato ones.
All right, time to get the fries out.
Sounds crispy.
They have to be crispy.
Do not give me a soggy fry.
I might put them closest to the dips
that I think they would go well with.
Again, keep the color in mind.
I'm gonna have this stick shaped sweet potato fry
on this side of the board.
So I'm gonna put the other one on this side.
And give it a sample.
Still a french fry.
The best part about this is that everyone,
when they look at this,
when they get to your house or whatever
are gonna be like I love you so much.
This is a heavenly site.
Just don't know if it's that practical.
Don't be jealous of my fry board.
All right so the thing bothering me about this
is that it's just kind of all one color.
The sauces are pretty,
but I still want something that kind
of separates this and takes it up pone level.
This really shows that you tried.
And parsley's cheap so.
I guess you could also garnish with like pickles
or something like that.
All right and the final touch.
Great, just in time for me to talk again.
Let's turn the blender on.
Voila.
There it is.
I mean it looks pretty amazing,
and I think anyone that sees this,
it's gonna make them smile.
The sauces are super colorful.
It makes it fun.
It makes this creative.
I mean I actually love this idea
if you time it right for your party.
I don't think this is an appetizer
that you're gonna leave sitting out
at one of those come and go type events.
If you're grilling burgers or hot dogs
for whatever the occasion is
to put out a platter of fries
is not gonna make anyone unhappy.
