Summer Accoutrements: Baked Seasoned Fries and Quick Pickled Onions

Homemade baked seasoned fries are the perfect side for your burger this summer and they are so easy to make at home and much healthier than deep fried versions

Barbecue Sweet Potato Chips

When fried in hot oil, the sweetness in sweet potatoes concentrates and results in a tastier chip than regular russets, in my opinion. As for the barbecue flavor, a sprinkling of salt, cayenne, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika make for a great barbecue combination that won't overpower or mask the sweetness of the crisp, fried sweet potatoes.

Kimchi Fries

These kimchi fries are baked in the oven, seasoned with Korean chili powder (optional, for those who'd rather have a milder fry), and then topped with caramelized kimchi and onions.

Sweet potato steaks

A favourite sweet potato recipe: Middle Eastern style steak-like slabs of spiced sweet potato, tahini sauce and garlic-sesame-chilli topping!

Crispy Home Fries With Red Onions and Roasted Poblano Pepper

Home fries should be crisp on the outside and creamy in the middle, packed with potato flavor, with some herbs and onions mixed in. The good news: You don't even have to leave home to catch that unicorn.

Cuban Fritas (Seasoned Cheeseburgers With Shoestring Potatoes and Spicy Sauce)

The frita is a classic regional American burger created by Cuban immigrants in South Florida. While the standard is a thin, griddled patty with a spiced ketchup-based sauce, my take on it is a slightly larger version designed for the backyard grill with a boldly seasoned pork and beef patty, a creamier sauce, and more vegetables. The crisp shoestring potatoes that are the hallmark of a traditional frita remain the same.

Crispy and Flavorful Avocado Fries

Crunchy with golden brown panko on the outside and buttery within, avocado fries are a low-effort, high-reward snack that come together in less than 30 minutes.

Curried Sweet Potato Chips

It's such a simple mix--that slightly sugary, crispy crunch of the potato, the salt, and then take-no-prisoners curry powder. Like perfect Indian-American street food.
