Fries Piled High
October 2016
French fries are a classic side dish across North America. They’re familiar, affordable and comforting—and that’s what makes them a delicious foundation for all kinds of toppings. Loaded fries and Canadian-style poutine are becoming menu favorites. In fact, Burger Business named loaded fries Side Dish of the Year in 2015.
Fries are extremely easy to make, and they serve as a great canvas for regional and ethnic toppers. From cheese and chili to pastrami and Korean barbecue, the ingredient possibilities are endless. Be sure to offer loaded fries that cater to your diners’ specific tastes. If your operation serves Greek cuisine, try offering fries topped with gyro meat and tzatziki sauce. If you serve a more adventurous group of diners, try topping with fried eggs, gojuchang, duck confit, pulled barbecue turkey and more.
Even better, loaded fries are very versatile. When topped with cheesy scrambled eggs and crumbled turkey bacon, they make a delicious breakfast offering. They can be served as a side dish, late-night sharable or bar menu special, but when topped with proteins, they become an entrée in and of themselves.
