Italian French Fries

Thursday, March 1, 2018
Italian fries are a crisp french fried potato bursting with a flavorful amount of herbs and Italian cheesy spices! An American Italian take on what is known for a fast french fry.

What makes them seem Italian is all the seasoning. They're all seasoned up with Italian herbs, fried to perfection with spices and Italian cheeses.

These Italian Fries are so delicious and a perfect fix to any french fry lover.

Italian style french fried potatoes gone wild!

I love them with any dinner we serve but we can eat them as just a snack for lunch, in between meals and of course with a tasty Italian burger!

Hamburgers and French Fries a classic favorite



When I grew up in an all Italian household, everything had garlic in it!


The hamburgers tasted like a meatball and the fries were seasoned with herbs and spices.


It's hard to become Americanized to making them like a fast food chain.


These fries are what we grew up on and still, make.

French Fries are a classic universal favorite!



I see in many restaurants they come in all different shapes now.


Potatoes are so versatile when it comes to shapes.


My family loves the shoestring style or medium.


We love them loaded also with melted mozzarella and a little marinara on them and if you want to make a whole meal out of them add some cooked loose sausage and peppers on top first!


I really am a potato lover of all of them and in any shape or size but seasoned like this recipe,

Best Side Dish!



Whether it's with a burger or any meat or for just a snack, these are a delicious side dish.


I just love the change in flavors with the Italian herbs and spices, dipped in a marinara sauce instead of ketchup really make them Italian Fries!

Unique in flavor and addictive



These Italian French Fries are quite different in flavor since they have so many herbs and spices on them.


I really love the fresh herbs they bring out the flavors in the Italian fried potatoes and virtually need nothing else, not even a condiment. I do add them on the sides.


Believe it or not, my favorite to dip these in is vinegar. My son loves marinara sauce. My husband ketchup and many like to dip in ranch or blue cheese dressing.


Any way you decide to dress these up they are outstanding with any meal.


I love using my new air fryer. I lightly coat my raw potatoes with and oi spray and then air fry them until golden and crispy.

They come out perfect



If you love them deep fried in oil make them on top of the stove, electric deep fryer if you have one.


One other way I have made them is thickly cut Italian Steak fries,  brushed with oil and bake them. Season them when they come out the same way.


Basically, they are delicious however thickness you cook them.


The seasoning is what makes them super special.

Quick Style Or Homemade?



Either way, you make them homemade from raw potato or frozen, these fries everyone will love them.


However, I highly recommend these, to get the full experience homemade version only.

Great Additions



These fries are a great side dish addition to any meal and of course, they especially compliment my Italian style hamburgers!

A Great Snack



I even make these as a snack sometimes.


My grandson is a very picky eater but he loves french fries so I make these often without seasoning too heavy.


Just cheese and parsley with salt, pepper.


He loves his thin cut fries.


Also, most of us love sprinkling some red pepper flakes on ours, then dipping them in marinara sauce.

Bold Flavors



The nice part about making seasoned fries and Italian style is, how bold the flavors could be made to your liking.



There are no rules here. Sprinkle away!



You add as much or less of what you like or any of the ingredients listed.



I say start out with a little instead of a lot then you can improvise accordingly. It's hard to remove over seasoning.

Oh, Cheese and Garlic!




We like more cheese than garlic so I use around 1/4 cup of grated cheese on mine and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic. We also like oregano better than basil, so I use less basil.



Once you have slightly cooled them, then I add the spices while warm.



Usually, the fries are so hot I can't handle them right away so like them cool slightly or pour them straight into a paper bag and shake the seasoning is the easiest way..

Dipping them!



Everyone likes to dip them in something different here.


One likes marinara, another hot sauce, my son likes mayo then the husband likes blue cheese.


Whatever you like, dip away!  They are great by themselves!



These go perfectly with my Best Italian Juicy Hamburger recipe!

Yield: 4

Italian French Fries

prep time: 10 min cook time: 25 min total time: 35 mins
These are a great side dish with any meal. The potatoes are fried and seasoned with Italian spices and herbs.

ingredients:

  • Around 4 peeled fresh potatoes cut lengthwise into stick form ( I use Russet Potatoes)
  • These can be cut into any shape you like using a sharp knife (or you can use frozen if you prefer around 2 cups or more) cut enough for your family size
  • sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • Garnishes
  • Italian grated cheese ( I used Romano and Parmesan mixed) generously sprinkled on top of cooked fries
  • Sprinkles of granulated garlic (lightly dust the tops with this)
  • 1 teaspoon from a small sprig Fresh chopped rosemary or dried
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon each dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

instructions:

  1. Cut the potatoes into 4 to 5 vertical slices then into sticks or other shapes you like.
  2. Deep fry the french fries in 300-degree oil (or in an air fryer if you have one to manufacturer instructions.) It takes around 25 minutes or more to brown. If using frozen, check the package instructions for times.
  3. Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a large bowl or paper bag place the fries in with all seasoning to taste, stir or shake gently to coat. Sprinkle with cheese to your taste, red pepper flakes if using and more garlic if you like. Salt, pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot with your favorite marinara sauceor condiments for dipping.
  6. Optional: to make loaded potato fries: add shredded mozzarella and cooked loose sausage on top and fried long hots.
