Pomme Frites with Manuka-Based Secret Sauce

French fries are an American staple snack food and side dish. They're crispy, salty and borderline addicting. But, when made at fast food joints, they're covered in grease. They're unhealthy and may even leave you with a stomachache after indulging. 

Next time you're craving french fries, have a house full of kiddos or friends and family, try our Pomme Frites recipe. Our version of french fries are made from fresh ingredients. Making them at home allows you to control the salt as well, which is great for those who may be watching sodium intake.

Our Pomme Frites are just as crispy and delicious as the fries you'd get from a fast food chain. Though, we know everyone has their own personal preference of the crispiness level of fries, and, luckily, making them at home also enables to you control this and cook them just to your liking.

This recipe requires minimal ingredients and is quick and easy to make. Simple enough that you can include them as part of a pre-planned menu for a playdate or dinner, or, make them on the whim to fulfill a craving.

Topped with parmesan and parsley, these fries are not only healthier and more tasty than average, but they look fancier too! These are not your average take-out fries. Kids and adults, alike, will love these fries.

Step up your fry game by pairing Pomme Frites with a dip better than plain old ketchup. Mix up one of our Manuka Based Secret Sauces to serve with these. We suggest the Staple Sauce or the Parmesan Dip, but let us know which one you choose in the comments! Our Manuka Based Secret Sauces are equally as easy to make. They're sweet and savory, thanks to a variety of ingredients, including Wedderspoon Manuka Honey.
